Christian kids are forced to abstain from nearly every interesting aspect of adolescence, except crappy mainstream rock. For that, they have Jars of Clay, whose self-righteous crescendoes and tremulous self-searchings are delivered with the idiotic pomp of Spinal Tap. On the plus side, Jars of Clay have sold six million records, won a clutch of Grammys and used their money to fund clean water and health projects in Africa. On the minus, their music is terrible and they paved the way for atrocities like Creed and P.O.D. Jesus may love them, but you don’t have to.

“Are you kidding me? Jennifer, you must have had too many good times that you have missed out on the REALLY good times. Like, listening to Jars of Clay from a good car stereo while rockin down the highway. Man, it's a long fall back to earth, but better than missing the whole planet. We've come thousands of miles to see them play at BB King Blues Club on Times Square. We'll get back with you after we've seen them live.”
