can sixpence really be considered a rock group?

Yes. Have you seen them in concert? Their hits are not necessarily "Rock," but they were always a rock band.

11-1-05 I listened to one song off each of their albums today. Must say they are a good band. Enjoyed the covers as well. -DDR

Could some one please throw some more light on this band? One photo will be good. Also, I have added a music-stub template. --Anupam Srivastava 06:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] must everything be preceded with Christian or secular?

An anonymous user has taken quite some time distinguishing which songs and other things are "Contemporary Christian" and which ones are considered "secular". In my opinion, labelling everything in this manner severely hinders the readability of the article. I'm not personally familiar enough with Sixpence's discography to know when it's really necessary to describe the content as the anonymous user has done. I didn't want to blindly revert the article precisely because of this reason. Could someone who is better informed please address this? Thanks. --Kyoko 08:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree completely. Furthermore, "Contemporary Christian" is obviously a musical genre, not a belief system, so it's strange to label something that isn't Contemporary Christian as being "secular." Even if "secular" meant "not Contemporary Christian", it would be like labeling everything that isn't country as being "non-country" in an article about a country band. 193.91.181.142 00:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC) (Nick)

It is very repetetive. I'm going to try to rework it right now. I also think it's strange to see Contemporary Christian capitalized everywhere - I guess religious people are sensitive about capitalizing the name of the religion, but contemporary can certainly be minisculed. Reading it, I thought for a while Contemporary Christian might be a proper noun, like the name of a record label, because it was caps. Cat Parade 02:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Since when is a genre of anything not capitalized? Do you go to the "religeous" section at Borders or the "Religeous" section? The capilization refines it. Much like "fantasy" is very, very broad while "Fantasy" would bring to mind the genre Tolkien created. 69.179.145.221 22:25, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

The edits labelling everthing either "Contemporary Christan" or "secular" are not only annoying, they're misleading. Is there a way to change this by just reverting back to the page before it was ruined? I'm not a wikipedia expert at all. This thing really needs to be changed, though. --Joelh 27 Oct 2006

I just read this article for the first time and agree completely. Annoying and unnecessary. BlongerBros 04:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes - This appears to be vandalism. Reverting to an earlier version is easy - just click on the history, find a good version, click edit on that version, and save it. See Help:Reverting for more info. Dan, the CowMan 06:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
