What about bands like Blindside, boysetsfire or Thrice? Don't they have a certain christian influence? /arnewpunkt

The net is full of crappy listings, which try to mention every "Christian" band who has a shitty live tape or a picture on the internet. If we want such a list to wikipedia, there must be clear principles. Classifying by letter does not make much sense to me, as the name doesn't usually tell much about the band. I suggest the bands would be classified either by subgenre or region (country). Only major bands should be accepted, ie. bands that have several official (full-length) releases, or bands that are otherwise remarkable.

If the bands are to be classified regionally, the subgenre should be mentioned after the name, or if classified by subgenre, then vice versa. --theologist

Where's Dream Theater, P.O.D. ? [Tempus]

Dream Theater is not a Christian band, however I will add P.O.D. - AugustWinterman

Why is "Petra" on this list? they are an early Christian rock band to be sure, but never were they ever considered "metal" by any standard. -- Wayne "JulieMillerFan" Shuman (for those who remember me from my 8 year reign selling CCM on Ebay.)

Sorry if I missed something, but why is Deicide in the list? They are quite obviously anti-religion (Glen Benton has an inverted crucifix on his forehead and they have songs such as "Fuck your god" and "Kill the Christian".) Also, it's not even a valid link. Is it some stupid prankster or is it there as an antonym sort of thing? Actually, I'll just edit them out myself...

Hey where's Beloved? They were definitely christian even though they broke up. -DCcomicslover

I will add them, but you should feel free to add them yourself.
