But then, maybe I think that because I so rarely go out of my way to listen to it. On the other hand, as has been said, Christian musicians/singers already established as such can produce great music with a Christian theme. eg Aretha Franklin. eg also Van Morrison, who put a couple of great religious tracks on his latest album (the one with Cliff Richard made the British charts over Christmas).
