I recently realized that all I listen to is stuff that's on Christian radio. Not that there's a problem with that per se, but I used to listen to all kinds of stuff. These days, I just don't much bother with music because everything popular is almost always about glorifying being a horrible person.

Anyone have suggestions for music that has positive/inspirational lyrics that isn't specifically Christian?

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions. Here's a good one, if you haven't heard it. There's a ska version as well, under Streetlight Manifesto

Nice. Megadrive makes me feel like I'm living in the Shadowrun universe.

Browning is pretty good.

For Today might be my favorite from your recommendations.

Billy Joe Shaver - I’ve been to Georgia on a fast train Real country tune

Tony Joe White - They Caught the Devil and Put Him in Jail in Eudora, Arkansas Also country/ “swamp rock,” real ripping horns

Rodney Crowell - let’s make trouble Old “new” country, uncannily yearning in nature

Lowell George - honest man Classic tune I think? More southern rock

Swamp Dogg (original d-o-double G) - choking to death (on the ties that bind). I describe this song as the kinda tune The Rolling Stones wish they play Also his cover of Aint that a shame is awesome

Tom waits - step right up Great sardonic alt-jazz tune

I was about 13 when they became popular, and I thought they were garbage. Now that I'm much older and a Christian, I still think they're garbage.

Joking aside - Just not a fan of their style. Thanks though.

Thats a hard question, I know of nothing new. Brian 'Head' Welch from koRn made a christian album when he left but now he is back.

Always liked this song. Even more so after teaming up with Jesus.

I had been checking out a YouTube channel called pastor reacts for a bit. He’s actually a metal head, not afraid to like slayer despite their lyrics. He may help you broaden your horizons.
