Christian To Secular Music Comparison List

Ok, so I finally broke down and did it. After all this time of basically deceiving myself that Christian music is so unique that it doesn't sound similar to ANYONE, I decided to put out a comparison list because the basic fact is, it does. With that said, these comparisons, by no means mean that these Christian bands sound EXACTLY like the secular bands listed. Many of these Christian artists sound very unique and some only remotely similar to what's listed. But by listening, you will clearly see the influences. We all have a testimony, and as music lovers, we probably loved the music of the world first before we finally surrendered our lives to Christ and started integrating more Christian music into our lives. At least I did. Here is a list of some that I have found to be similar.
