Brauser, I have purchased a few things in this catagory over the last few years and have been surprised by the quality available. It occurs to me that "Contemporary Christian" musicians are less trapped in a particular musical style than "Pop" musicians. For this reason they are able to use a broader mixture of styles.

I really liked Steve Taylor's "I Predict, 1990" which is obviously older. It should be a classic album like DSOTM, or "A Night at the Opera" that everyone owns.

Sara Groves and Steven Curtis Chapman's latest were quite good. I don't know much else about this subculture but they have some good music.
