Good Christian Rock

I'll leave Christian music alone for a while after this, but I can't help noting that Daniel Radosh, author of Rapture Ready!, has actually gone to the mat for Christian music in several publications. Here's a playlist he made for the New York Times online:

“Ten great Christian rock songs. Really.”

1. Larry Norman - Why Don't You Look into Jesus?
2. Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me
3. Over the Rhine - Born
4. Bob Dylan - Every Grain of Sand
5. The 77s - The Lust, The Flesh, The Eyes and the Pride of Life
6. Pedro the Lion - Rapture
7. mewithoutYou - Nice and Blue (part 2)
8. Jonathan Rundman - My Apology
9. Vigilantes of Love - You Know That
10. Andy Hunter - Come On

Listen here. Read his explanations here. (I mean, “Kiss Me”? That's the Sixpence song you had to use?)
