U2 is not a Christian band. Those on the list had the label "Christian band" on them. That said, there are better singers than the majority on the list, who are Christians singing in secular bands.

The fact that Matthew Ward did not appear on your list at all proves that you don't really know what's out there. I challenge ANYONE to sing with greater control or range than Matt. He beats every other name on this list hands down.

By the way... where are the girls on these lists? Ashley Cleveland has more grit and soul in her vocals than anyone on this list, too.

Ashley and Matt both also have the validation of having provided vocals for countless CDs from other artists.

Yes. Thank you. I was actually going to mention Scott Hunter and Andrew Schwab.

Then I made that stupid Bono crack.
