You mention one rocker in the other blog. I didn't know we could listen to rock and roll without breaking some sort of covenant (which I break on a regular basis). I'll give Mark Hansen a listen I am interested in learning more about CCM and Mormon pop music and if some good pop/rock music is being produced by these groups. Some of the kids in our ward listen to CCM but I have no idea in what category it falls. As a side note when I run across CCM videos a lot of the musicians have piercing and tattoos. I assume we will not see that in Mormon musicians any time soon. When I listen to Mormon music it is still the Mormon Tabernacle Choir which of course is not considered a pop group. I like the subculture idea. I certainly would fit better into mainstream Mormon if a subculture was accepted as part of the whole.
