[edit] Fountains of Wayne
I've taken out Fountains of Wayne as one of the bands that "dominate" this scene. I don't know if the members are Christian or not, but I've never seen them described as Christian rock or whatever before, and a quick Google doesn't turn up any evidence that they have been. (I might add - I've never listened to them closely, but I've not noticed any Christian element in what I have heard) --Camembert
[edit] Modern Alternative CCM
I think its a little incorrect to be calling newsboys, dctalk etc alternative. These bands are plainly considered mainstream 'ccm' for a long time. All the bands mentioned are very firmly on major ccm labels and are massively supported by the ccm industry. Perhaps better suggestions would be The Danielson Familie and Pedro The Lion.
[edit] Modern Alternative CCM
Agree with the previous poster, Newsboys might have alternative links via Steve Taylor, but for the most part their music is very mainstream CCM. Ditto for DC Talk. I would be hesitant to say Danielson Familie and Pedro the Lion "dominate" the current scene though because they are still little known among most of the alternative Christian music fanbase. Perhaps Delirious? would qualify here? They are certainly alternative in sound, and have a pretty consistent fanbase. I would also agree that Fountains of Wayne are not "Christian" alternative, although some or all members may claim the faith. Their music doesn't contain or suggest the gospel message, although it is quite good power pop. --GBrady
[edit] List
I think the list should be taken out. It dominates the whole page, and it doesn't even link to the Wikipedia pages for any of the artists. --Shippy Mandy
[edit] Adding an external link
Thoughts on adding this new CCM resource to the external list? www.ccmnews.net (Jdingman 07:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Alternative rock
Merged this article to alternative rock. Neither is particularly meaty, and this makes disambiguation from Alternative far easier.--MikeJ9919 23:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
