PS> Is it normal for a mormon to like Christian and Gospel music?

Boy...my playlists are a lot different then yours...my three most played are a Rush compilation, an Anthrax compilation and then a mixture of mellow rock and jazz.
I really like contemporary Christian and Gospel music. Here are some of my favorite older ones:
Nichole Nordeman: To Know You, Wide Eyed, Who You Are Mercy Me: I Can Only Imagine Avalon: Testify To Love Selah: Yesu Azali Awa, Press On
And of course, anything by Charlotte Church, but that's more classical than contemporary.
I think Nichole Nordeman is hands down the most talented singer/songwriter in contemporary Christian music.
The brother and sister from the Smith family (Selah) sing amazingly tight harmony. They grew up in Africa--parents were Christian missionaries. Yesu Azali Awa is an African praise song.
But when it's tiime to ride motorcycles, nothing beats Rush's "Red Barchetta"

Still think Casting Crowns is my personal favorite...
And that song called "Undo" by Rush of Fools just has a great feel to it... Of course the songs are very much focused towards the grace and forgiveness that comes in Christ, which I think my bro's forgotten...
