Trying to Find Non-Satanic Rock
 

I'd like to start by saying that i'm not trying to criticize people for their beliefs, but music that glorifies satan goes against my beliefs. that's all.

but anywho, I started listening to some Led Zeppelin and similar bands through Pandora (which i'm assuming most people here are pretty familiar with). 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?

Steering clear of a band you like just because of their religious beliefs is pretty lame.

But if you want to avoid satanic bands, you just need to look beyond metal.

All rock is Satanic. Didn't you know that?

All secular music is satanic, only listen to christian rock and gospel music (and only when its being sung by white people).

Hmm... Well I guess Gregorian Chants are safe too.

As long as no sixths are involved. Stick to perfect fourths and fifths.

I think Christian Boy Bands are also ok to listen to.

Their dirty lyrics and sexual innuendos are acceptible just as long as it's about Jesus.

i'm pretty sure that not all rock is satanic, and when did i say i was christian? perhaps i'm just uncomfortable with satanic themes?

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.

Gonna rock your crosses tonight,
Gonna make sure your cross is all wood,
Gonna anoint you with oil tonight,
Gonna teach you about biblehood.

I, for one, am just messing. I respect your beliefs--assuming you have said beliefs; I hold strong Judeo-Christian values, myself.

Some pretty unsatanic bands: Impetigo, Napalm Death, Embalmer, The Accused, Amebix, His Hero Is Gone, Skaven, Rex Invertigo, Damad, The Old Dead Tree, Sentenced, Municipal Waste, XXX Maniak, Impaled, Carcass, Negative Land, The Cure, Lurk, Boston, Stryper, Genesis, Saga, Haste, Anthrax, Duran Duran, Berlin, Jethro Tull, Advance.

Check them out and enjoy, or not, whatever.
