big mistake. HUGE.

i'm a big music person. i don't know about every new band, and i'm not a snob about what's "good" or "what's not" but i do really just enjoy music. of all types. maybe even country, but i'm not sure on that yet. haven't given it a fair shot. so this is a question for any of you out there who listen to christian music.

i have a pastor's wife confession:

i only own one "christian" CD.

switchfoot. from 2003.

not because i think christian music is bad, but because i'm not sure it's good. i just don't know. and i need you to tell me. i feel like taste in music is as individual as fashion and style or food preferences. to each his own. if you like it, that's all that matters. i just want to know what you like, or what you think i'll like. because i'm not tech savvy, persay, i don't listen to free downloaded music constantly or have a lot of random music on my computer. i don't have an ipod and i don't even know how to download music without, like, getting arrested or something. the only music i stole was off nicks hard drive a while back ;) thanks, nick. but buying CD's is so expensive and, i don't know, old fashioned now or something. clearly i need some help.

here's where you come in. below is a list of some CD's i own or bands/musicians i enjoy (i'm across the board- jazz, hip hop, rock, i'm into whatever) and maybe you could give me some music suggestions?! i'm curious about the christian music arena, but if you're reading and you don't own any christian music either, then you can suggest any new music that you're listening to or just love in general. i'm always looking for suggestions.

yay! i'm excited already!

some of my faves: Adele, John Mayer, Coldplay, Ryan Adams, Kenna, Bright Eyes, Radiohead, James Morrison, Ben Harper, Gomez, Estelle, Rufus Wainwright, Feist, Mat Kearney, Citizen Cope, Kings of Leon, Amy Winehouse, Kanye West, The Fray, Augustana, Death Cab for Cutie, The Decemberists, Ray LaMontaigne, Regina Spektor, John Legend, Michael Buble, Live, Damian Rice, U2, Harry Connick Jr., Norah Jones, Jason Mraz, Jimi Hendrix, Pearl Jam, The Cranberries, Josh Kelley, RAtM, Beck, Dave Matthews Band, Snow Patrol, Jamie Cullum, Foo Fighters, Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, MJ in his early days ;)...and the list goes on.
