It could be Jars of Clay, Amy Grant, Newsboys, or any rendition of a praise and worship song. I think it's always been that way. I can remember listening to "El Shaddai" on the radio in high school. Perhaps there just aren't enough Christian musicians out there to create the diversity that you (and surely many others) seek. Perhaps the Christian music industry isn't as profitable as the secular music industry. Perhaps Christian music radio stations just have crappy song libraries. Your guess is as good as mine. Oh, and this was a very nice first post. Welcome to the blogosphere!
