Ok, one cheesy song, and you write the band off? Come on they had some good songs too!

These are just a few of their good songs.

oh, i am sorry, I actually thought you were kidding.

they are a bit of a byword for 'awful' here, but there is nowhere near the market for Christian music outside the states, so nobody has really heard of anybody except them and maybe Petra...

No, I did not realize that they were considered awful. 2/3 guys in the group are still having successful careers (Tobymac as a solo artist, and Micheal Tait as the lead singer for the Newsboys).

Lets try this again -

Alabama!

I've had several "favorite bands" over the years, but Front 242 may have been my favorite, favorite band at the time (late 80's). In my opinion, they trancended the Industrial genre. Great layering of sound, cold but communicative, dark but also energetic and fun. Killer beats, too. There was a lot of emotion in their music expressed specifically through the perspective of the technical revolution and rapid media evolution. Today their music sounds dated and, simultaneously, ahead of its time. Friends either loved them or hated them.

As far as All Time Favorite Band, I have to say it's a toss-up between REM and Red Hot Chili Peppers, though.

Can anyone post an area of interest (theatre, literature, movies, video games etc) where the diversity of opinion on what the "best" is, is greater than popular music?

I agree Front 242 transcended the industrial genre. Too many bands never evolved and played it safe while 242 went out of their way to shake their formula up. I'm sure most 242 fans will disagree with me but I thought their best albums were the two released in 1993, especially "05:22:09:12 Off". DeMeyer also had some good side projects worth checking out. C-Tec (or Cyber-Tec Project) and Cobalt 60.

Live they were INTENSE.
