Music: Genres, Lyrics, and all that Jazz. (no pun intended)

So I am on a Christan Forum, and we were having a discussion about music. The subject turned to Christain Music, and Several of the members there stated that they didn't approve of Rap, Metal, or Secular music in General. They stated that they don't listen to that kind of music, and they thought it was just horrible that some Christian artists even "tarnished" the Christain message, and "perverted the sweet message of the gospel" by even associating themselves with that style of music. Now, I am not a big fam or Rap music myself, or most Heavy Metal for that matter, but here was my reply to the thread:

Just because a certain Genre was originally filled with nothing but secular junk and songs with evil messages does not mean that Christians can't use it to reach out and influence the listeners of that Genre for good. and for God!

Skillet, Hawk Nelson, Relient K, TobyMac, and even some of Jeremy Camp's more Recent stuff fall under this Category.

The Christian Rap group MOD even came to my Church and performed. Those guys are so on fire for God, and they are talented Rappers, too. I used to be against Rap music, because all it ever talked about was getting high, getting drunk, partying, killing people, and all that stuff. But guess what, there are unsaved people who listen to nothing but rap music, and if putting the Christian Message into that form is a way to spark people's curiosity, and eventually win souls to Christ, I would say that we are blatently disobeying the Great Commission (Go and make Followers of ALL THE NATIONS ...not the exact wording, and again I don;t remember the Refrence. I think it's at the end of either the book of Mattehw or John) if we refuse to do so. Now I'm not saying that we all have to go out and listen to Rap or Heavy Metal all day. If that's not your thing, I'm cool with that. But I am saying that there is no need to be talking smack about people whe really love God, and are really making a difference, even if it's in a different way than you or I would do it. (you in the plural, referring to no-one in particular)

So, readers, my question for you is this: What is your take on this? Even if you are not a Christian. For example, suppose with me that you had a message that you believed in, and you wanted to get as many people as you could to hear about your message. If, your message lent itself to being presented musically, would you branch out into every genre of music, (wheather or not you particuarlly are into that type of music or not) for the purpose of getting your message out to the world? Heck, even of you aren't the actual person writing/singing/performing/publishing the actual songs, would you stil approve of it?

My answer is yes, of course I would!

What's yours?
