The New York Times published a really interesting top ten list by Daniel Radosh on his "Paper Cuts" blog.
Radosh, a self-proclaimed secular Jew gives a smart, spot-on assessment of Christian music by listing his top ten favorite Christian songs that don't "reduce all expressions of faith to crass evangelism, anodyne praise, or crypto-romance." These are songs he feels everyone can learn from or appreciate--regardless of your own particular religious inclination. The list includes artists such as Larry Norman, Bob Dylan, Over The Rhine, Sixpence None the Richer and a couple of artists I haven't ever heard of! To stump someone who used to make a living covering Christian music, well, that's impressive.
Mr. Radosh, I promise I will be checking these new artists out on iTunes immediately!
