Thousand Foot Krutch vs. RED
Relient K vs. Stellar Kart WINNER! RELIENT K!!!
Underoath vs. Showbread WINNER! SHOWBREAD!!!
Pillar vs. P.O.D. WINNER! PILLAR!!!
Mark Schultz vs. Brandon Heath

I'll only vote on the pairings who I've actually heard:

Brandon Heath
Stephen Curtis Chapman
D.C. Talk
Toby Mac

My decisions are a little biased since I just saw Brandon Heath and SCC at Glory at the Gardens last week, and I went to college with DCTalk. My wife had classes with Toby Mac.

FWIW, Michael W. Smith's Secret Ambition is one of my favorite all-time songs.

sk · « **Reply #7 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:32:07 PM »

Thousand Foot Krutch
Relient K
Showbread
Pillar
Mark Schultz
Michael W. Smith (very tough one, but Smitty's staying true to his sound better than SCC is)
D.C. Talk
Skillet
Toby Mac
Grits
Lecrae
Flame

Perhaps put Sixpence None the Richer vs Jars of Clay? I've seen the two grouped together on lists before, but I'm not sure why. Both are classic groups, anyhow. Alternately, iTunes Genius compares them to Jon Foreman's solo stuff...

What about Casting Crowns vs MercyMe?

[edit] The newly added:
Sixpence None the Richer
Casting Crowns
Gaither Vocal Band
Petra
Stryper
Twila Paris (Unless Sandi Patti is in a duet with Mark Lowry...

)
Amy Grant

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #8 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:35:40 PM »

For old school, how about:

Gaither Vocal Band vs. Philips, Craig & Dean
Petra vs. Whiteheart
Stryper vs. Whitecross
Sandi Patti vs. Twila Paris
Amy Grant vs. Kathy Troccoli

Tsavong Lah · « **Reply #9 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:38:07 PM »

No U2?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #10 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:40:14 PM »

not a Christian band...

What about Casting Crowns vs MercyMe?

I like Casting Crowns.

Tsavong Lah · « **Reply #11 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:43:12 PM »

U2 is potentially the most "Christian" of any band currently making music.

OK, one from more recently: Attaboy.

PresidentOrangeBus · « **Reply #22 on:** May 28, 2009, 04:52:31 AM »

I demand a matchup of Five Iron Frenzy (Personally my favorite band. RR would have my back) and Audio Adrenaline or Supertones if your looking to keep it Ska.. Because Ska does need some love.
