and i'm entitled to a preference. you don't have to make fun of me for it. i'm not bashing whatever you're into.

I wasn't really poking fun at you, just Christians in general.

Check them out and enjoy, or not, whatever.

Jethro Tull are not satanic, but they are very anti-organized religion.

WTF is wrong with people here. Someone comes here in hopes of finding some music that fits thier tastes and all we get is a bunch of **** talking? So someone wants some rock music without having any satanic themes. Why can you not just provide an answer rather than acting like you are gods gift to music?

There was a thread looking for christian metal that you might want to look at.

I'm not sure if it is want you are looking for, but it still might help.
I think that alot of times you can find whatever you want in song lyrics.
It also depends on what kind of rock you are looking for. Classic, metal, classic metal....etc...

well the fact is that bands like led zep and sabbath are heavily rooted in blues and blues is considered to be the devils music basically because a lot of the themes are sex, indulgence, and rebellion so basically your gunna have to look past most hard rock and rock in general, also jazz too because jazz uses the tritone (diminshed 5th) a lot and that's considered to be the devils note and was banned in medieval society

hope that helps

But then while looking into the history of Led Zep while bored, i learned of their ties to satanic figures, and the alleged satanic references in "Stairway to Heaven" (as well as the claims about it being played backward). from then on i had a hard time finding bands who didn't have some sort of satanic reference or ties, like Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden. I mean the songs Pandora played didn't seem to solicit any satanic beliefs, and i admit, before i looked to see who the song was by i was thinking to myself that i kinda liked the song, but i just can't reconcile listening to bands that are about that.

I'm sure someone else here has faced a similar dilemma. I like Led Zep's sound, but i could do without the satanic undertones. any resources that could help me figure out which bands to steer clear of?

If you are Christian you are still allowed to listen to satanic music, though Paul does not reccommend it. I listen to a lot of black metal and I am still a Christian. And I am not a Sunday-Christian either.

ok, I'll give you some Christian/pro-religious metal/core bands to check oiut.

The Devil Wears Prada
Life In Your Way
The Chariot
All That Remains
As I Lay Dying
August Burns Red
Becoming the Archetype
Blessed By A Broken Heart
Foreknown
Haste the Day
Norma Jean
Symphony In Peril
Winter Solstice
With Blood Comes Cleansing

There are tons more; those are just the ones I had under metalcore. For the most part, check out the labels Solid State Records, Tooth and Nail Records, Facedown Records, Strikefirst Records, and Indianola Records. They tend to have decent Christian metal/core bands.

You mean Tritones? Major and minor 6th's have no "Satanic" or evil sound to them.

Tritones do however.

and listen to Akercoke, Immolation, and Grand Belial's Key.

I thought the sixth interval was considered by the old Catholic church to be evil, because six is the ostensible number of the Devil.

And that makes it right, how? When Christians tell you you are going to go to hell and all that crap, how do you react? I doubt you like it and if I were a athiest I would admit it would get a bit annoying. See, but then you go and do something like this and show a major flaw in your character, hypocrisy.

I just don't get it when people do this kind of crap.
