Your fave secular bands and artists?

Lessee, now…
U2 and Dave Matthews Band, especially. I’ve liked those two groups for quite a while. More recent additions to my list include Switchfoot, Coldplay, and Barenaked Ladies (extremely unfortunate name, but great otherwise). Some other, older groups that I’m not a big fan of but still like include Jethro Tull, Steely Dan, and Queen. Yes is quite durn cool as well, and Maroon 5 (my sister loves them) rox sox. Dang, there’s a lot out there.
And if I could just find a Dishwalla album somewhere, I might buy it…

Without a doubt: The good Catholic boys, U2!!!

Actually (I may be wrong here), I don’t think U2 are Catholic, exactly. Bono had one parent who was Protestant and another who was Catholic, so his belief itself might sort of be a mix of the two. There’s no doubting that the group is Christian in general, however. My dad thinks that one of their songs (don’t know which) is about Mary. Kewl, huh?
Oh, and by the way. I posted Switchfoot in a list of secular artists, didn’t I? I guess they don’t quite qualify as secular. My bad.
