rock

Okay, I never thought I would find myself defending this stuff, but Stryper's
first EP (the Yellow and Black Attack) which I picked up around 86 (?) really
cranked.  Soldiers under command was a yawn.  But Y&BAttack was cool, IMWO
(in my worthless opinion).
     This brings me to another question--why does Christian Rock bore me?  One
would think that I would be amused at the idea of Christian musicians playing
rockin' stuff (actually I am.  None of the Mainstream Christian Rock I've heard
rocks, actually), but it all seems to lack oomph, if you ask me.  Of course,
I'm highly amused when I find out that a band I like has Christian members, but
that's beside the point.  Why does it seem that most Christian Rock doesn't?
