Bach. Anything after that’s pretty cheesy…
Bach rules.
Is Skillet a Christian band? They’ve got a couple songs I like.
Monster, Hero…
Sister Christian by Night Ranger. 😉
Ha
I used to get down with some Collective Soul.
I always respected that they refused to identify as a Christian rock band. From what I recall their response was something like “We’re a rock band, that happens to be Christian.”
Quite a lot of folk hymnals absolutely slap.
Check the soundtrack for O Brother Where Art Thou?
Starflyer 59!!
Carol of the Bells
August burns red
The devil wears prada
Underoath
Silent planet
Texas in july
Wolves at the gate
Memphis may fire (some lyrics are cringey though)Slayer, Demon Hunter, Celldweller.
MXPX started out as a Christian punk band, but the members grew out of the religion and kept making music. —Punk Rawk Show, I’m Ok/You’re Ok, Chick Magnet, Move to Bremerton. All bangers.
Different vibe, but Pedro the Lion, same deal- started out Christian, then rethought his world view. Slowcore/90s emo. — Of Up and Coming Monarchs, Of Minor Prophets and Their Prostitute Wives, Big Trucks, Rapture, Backwoods Nation.

Depends what you call Christian music
NF got pretty big for a while, and pretty sure he never swore because of his religion and talked often about Christianity and his faith while promoting the Christian beliefs that are actually in the Bible and admitting his own struggles and overcoming them thru faith and hard work.
That is Christian music to me.
I mean, it’s not even really debatable, he’s signed to a label exclusively for Christian musical acts.
But music that is explicitly all about Jesus is usually just cashgrabs with zero meaning behind it. It’s playing to the low denominator for things where “safe” is the most important part of music.
So, TLDR:
NF
Skillet has made some cool stuff, Future of Forestry has made some good Christmas music, and I guess Owl City counts as a Christian band now
