I don't believe in gospel music, but U2 sure does. And they make it soooo lovely.

I am what I am, but I while I am DEFINITELY not religious, i am firstly a huge U2 fan, and I also do tremendously respect those of faith, within reason..

..and this is sure as shite "reasonable religion". No further comment. Like, posted w/o, I honestly don't want to deal with what this will inevitably bring out.

1. One of the best things about working 12 hours on Saturday night

was a really kickass Gospel show on public radio here as I drove home.

I'm as godless as they come but I know great music when I hear it. Apparently the guys in U2 do, also.

2. +1

Hey, I'm a Protty but most of my extended family is Catholic, would they they all "got it".

Then again, has U2 ever done wrong?

3. do you like Bach and Coltrane ? good music is good music

i like a lot of religious inspired music including the ones straight from churches, temples etc and i am an atheist.

5. Beat me to it

I was about to say the same thing.

7. Ok, yeah. This is arguably the greatest piece of art humanity has ever created.

I mean, whipping out Bach is like bringing a knife to a gunfight, dude.

8. Good Music

As a chef I know that "good music" is as subjective as "what tastes good"..

This is all good music to me..

And the ultimate piece by the ultimate musician - Mozart. Literally pulling-it-out-of-your-ass-the-night-before:

4. I still prefer Gregorian chant:

Gregorian Voices - Early Roman Catholic Church Song Generator


Of course, being U2, I can't help but think of Negativland's versions:
