I find this statement funny.....a bit dismissive? no?..do you listen to Christian rock? Not sure if you do or not but regardless there is some very good stuff to be found in this genre regardless of your beliefs....it isn't my favorite genre but you can't dismiss it outright......heck I would even listen to Muslim Rock if it was good and I knew there was such a thing....recent favorites :
Indie Rock : Sufjan Stevens : Illinois
Light Rock : Anberlin : Cities
Hard Rock : Switchfoot : Hello Hurricane
Heavy Rock : Red : Innocence & instinct
Thrash Rock : Emery : In shallow seas we sail
All the above are anything but lame and are very lyrically challenging. Most of it happens behind the curtains and just because they aren't mainstream doesn't mean it is crap. Eminem plays to his audience/white rapper/underdog/tough life/disfunctional/women.../f-you/angry narcissist....the message/lyrics are crap/corny and he is the biggest sell out of all time. It will never change even if he is recovering...
