I first heard POD on a Christian Radio station & unfortunately, that station has changed it's format. When I auditioned my VR4 Gen III's, I took along a selection of female singers, two which happened to be Christian singers. When I mentioned this to my dealer afterwards, he said he had no idea & if I hadn't said anything, would never have guessed. Also, my church had a concert recently & even though I'd never heard of the groups, they were very high energy & sounded more like the stuff I listen to on the radio than what you'd think "ramming God down your throat" sounds like.
I've always had floorstanders & 60's/70's rock has always been my mainstay. In fact I was playing Abraxas last night (MFSL version) and my wife actually sat down & listened to it! Steely Dan, Hendrix (gotta play 'Live in Winterland'), Grand Funk (gonna see them in 2 weeks), Vapour Space, War, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Doors, James Gang (and anything w/Tommy Bolin), Rare Earth, POD, No Doubt are some of what I've listened to lately along with Candy Dulfer, BB King, Cal Tjader, Ron Carter & Cannonball Adderly. I've left out a bunch like Elton, The Doobies, PJ Harvey, Yes & so on.
A lot of what I listen to that is new I get off radio stations & have no idea what the names of the artists or songs are but that's nothing new for me, as I never put much stock into remembering names anyway. If I want to know what something is, I look it up or ask my kids.
The main thing I can say about listening to music is if you don't like something, don't try to like it. Like was mentioned earlier, it may appeal to you one day. I'm still waiting (33 years since I was 14) for country & folk to appeal to me.
