AboutAngela Diefenderfer Expertise I will answer as many questions as I can about Christian alternative.
I can also try to give you a christian band that is at least somewhat like any non-christian band that you tell ask me about.
Experience I have sung in christian musicals/band/dramas/etc. for the past 10 years, and own several hundred christian cd's.
Question QUESTION: Hi,
I haven't been too interested in the whole music world for too long. A lot of the time I hear people discussing music and I don't know what they're talking about. I don't know of many bands or artists. I don't know how in the world people hear 3 seconds of a song and can identify what it is and who sang it.
I know this is an unusual situation, but how do think I can get to learn more about this kind of stuff? (It's kind of useless having an iPod with no good music on it.)
ANSWER: I know exactly what you're felling. I was the same way once, now look at me...how things change. Anyway...the best way to get to know songs is to listen to the radio and talk to your friends. Aak your friends if they have any good CD's they could lend you. If you hear a good song on the radio you can ask them "what was that song that went like..." and stuff like that. A couple of websites you could go to would be projectplaylist.com where you can pick and choose your own music to make your own playlist and music.aol.com.
Some of my fav bands:
Zoegirl; Jump5; DC talk; Decypher down; flyleaf; falling up; Krystal meyers; KJ-52; Grits; Tobymac; Barlowgirl;
Superchi[k]; Pillar
That's all I'm gonna give you for now. If you find a band youi like, thenb lemme know that name and I'll give you more band of that genre.
I hope you enjoy your music. Any other questions feel free to ask me, and I'll be glad to help.

QUESTION: Thanks. I got some songs by Blur, I think they're okay. Audioslave is good, too.
I've gathered a few names. Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chili Peppers... do you think they're good?
Answer Honestly, I don't really like any of them. Here are a few URL's to some songs that I think that you might like:
(Just copy and paste into your address bar)
I hope all the URL's worked for you and that you enjoyed them. If you want more songs like these, or if these aren't exactly of the genre that you are looking for let me know and I'll see what I can do.
