Actually there is no such thing as Christian music or secular music. There are Christian words and secular words, and digusting words, and hateful or vilent words.
I suggest you get suggestions for some good contemporary Christian groups, and offer some of CD's to your son. Perhaps you could also find some good clean non Christian groups too, just so he doesn't feel you are totally exaggerating.
Another idea is to sit with him and discuss the offensive things that are being said in the songs he listens to. By discuss I don't mean: "Did you hear that! How can you stand that junk?" etc. Rather something like: "I wonder why he says ...... in his song? Do you have any idea what influenced him? Do you think there is any truth to that thought?" etc.

Try the gospel music channel, http://www.gospelmusicchannel.com
You may have this channel on cable or satellite. It's like the Christian verson of MTV. If you didn't listen to the lyrics you couldn't tell the difference in the type of music they play, ranging from country to pop to hard rock.
Also try these bands' sites...
http://www.castingcrowns.com
http://www.switchfoot.com
http://www.sanctusreal.com
http://www.thirdday.com
http://www.relientk.com
http://www.kutless.com
http://www.thousandfootkrutch.com
http://www.building429.com
http://www.jeremycamp.com
http://www.stevencurtischapman.com
I think all of them have music and video on their websites.
And lastly... make sure to check out http://www.apologetix.com They're a Christian rock parody band, they do parodies of popular music rewritten with Christian lyrics. They have lots of MP3s free to download. I saw these guys live and they are awesome!
Hope this helps!

No disrespect but there are those who would argue that "good" music sites would not make any comparisons with "Christian music".
