Bring The Rock, I disagree that TM is grossly overrated because he is the very few Christian artists outhere who addresses the issue of racism in the body, which many of the artists are scared to tackle.--anyways, that is another topic for another thread.
Anyways, you are right about one thing about bands being overlooked as long as the "Family Freindly" formats whose air personalities control the voting. It also goes with gospel artists as well. If your music don't sound like the music of the "soccer moms" instead of exploring and listening to various musical sounds, guess what, the same people will win and be nominated. (no offense to those people, but that's the way it is unfortnatly).
Christian music will not be still accepted because there is so much division.
I am so used to a diverse crowd that I sometimes overlook the fact that there are still "white" churches, and "black" churches. That's sad. I know I've been in both, but my Church is a mix of alot of very different people. I did go to a primarily black church on a few occasions, and unfortunately, I was not welcomed there except by just a few people. The primarily white churches are the same way. Whatever the case, that's sad.
In the music industry, it has nothing to do with race or anything like that though. It's the fact that "family friendly" stations play ONE type of music. Man, I would still be listening to secular hit music if there wasn't a Christian hit station here. I couldn't stand listening to one genre all the time.
