~~{{Christian music}}~~'''Christian rock''' is a form of [[rock music]] played by [[band (music)|bands]] where the musicians are openly [[Christianity|Christian]]. The extent to which their lyrics are explicitly Christian varies between bands.

In the 1970s, [[Larry Norman]] was a popular Christian rock musician who challenged a view held by some conservative Christians (predominantly [[Christian Fundamentalism|fundamentalists]]) that rock music was anti-Christian. One of his songs, "''Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?''", summarized his attitude and his quest to pioneer Christian rock music.
