I'm really wondering about Christian music, as most of what I have heard isn't good and wouldn't sell if it wasn't religious. But does putting God or Jesus on something mean people will buy it even if it isn't very good?

Maybe, but let's face it, NOTHING cashes in like talentless nitt-witts wrapping obscenities to a beat that a three year old could repeat. Just be sure to throw a few "N" bombs, call all women the "B" word, and add plenty to the "F" word too and you'll have a platinum record!
My point is, the music industry is 95% garbage regardless of the genre.

Even the Pope doesn't like Christian rock. Forgetting the subject matter, I just think most Christian rock sucks musically. When I found songs with names like, "They Don't Serve Breakfast in Hell" I figured the whole genre was shot.
However, I like a lot of Christian music. Messiah (Handel) is really awesome, and Bach's B-Minor Mass pwns too.

google the steven brack band. Sounds like stevie ray vaughan meets zeppelin with a Gospel message.
This guy never was main stream and did nothing but Christian music.
Check them out!

*shrugs* That is a matter of opinion. I like Christian music, personally, but really, most /good/ Christian artists don't really sell /that/ well anyway.
People seem to have a habit of choosing the worst music they can.

There are some talented religious bands, but very few, and far less than secular bands.
I think its pretty clear that some bands prey on believer's knowing that they are more apt to be accepted and sell more records because the believer pool is smaller and more shallow than the secular pool.

Sadly, often times this is true, but no more or less true than in the secular music industry.

You mean just like atheist hollywood and the secular record industry does?
