DC TALK:
Probably my favorite Christian rock group. dc Talk consists of three singers: Kevin Max, Toby McKeehan (a.k.a Toby Mac), and Michael Tait. They've been putting out albums as dc Talk since 1989, but in 2001 the three decided to pursue solo careers.

"My Friend (So Long)" (1998) (my favorite dc Talk song)
"Supernatural" (1998)
"Colored People" (1995)
"What If I Stumble?" (live, 1997)
"Day by Day" (1995)
"40" (live, 2001) (cover of the U2 song)

HALO FRIENDLIES:
Technically not what you'd call "Christian rock," since their career path seems totally in the secular market, although they are carried in Christian stores, videos aired on Christian TV, etc.

"Sell Out" (2002)

JUMP 5:
