Online Christian Radio Stations
Although I do like a wide variety of music, sometimes I don’t like surprises. So much of modern rock ‘n roll can be pretty vulgar, and it can really ruin my mood to hear something I’m not expecting that offends my tastes. Other people can listen to what they want, but for me and my children, only acceptable and appropriate music will cut it. That is why, when I will have to put on the radio, I listen to Christian radio stations.
The used to be only one Christian radio station in town. It wasn’t bad, but it was a bit too contemporary for my taste. I like a mix of different Christian music. I like some Christian rock and Christian contemporary, but most of the stuff I’m really into is the older style of gospel music. I love bluegrass, African-American gospel music, and even older choir music. I like music where the emphasis is on the voices of the people singing in harmony, not the instrumentation or the fancy studio processing.
That is why it is such a blessing to be able to use Christian radio stations online. The great thing about the Internet is that, no matter what tastes you have, you can find something that will gratify them. My some can listen to Christian rock whenever he wants, and I can listen to all gospel all the time. There are Christian radio stations literally giving music away for free over the web to anyone with an Internet connection. It is almost too good to be true.
One of my very favorite ways to listen to Christian music online is through a website called Pandora. Basically, you put in a band or song you like and they give you other music with a similar sound. Although you are not guaranteed to only hear gospel music when you put in the name of a gospel band, that is most of what will come through the speakers. It lets you hear all kinds of new bands that play a similar style of music to the ones you already know you like. It is one of the best ways I know to discover new and interesting musicians. Even people I know who don’t like gospel music enjoy Pandora. As long as it is popular music from the last sixty years or so, you stand a pretty good chance of being able to find it on Pandora.
