I've never looked up the precise definition of CCM, but the way I think of it is music with a positive, God oriented message and a pop/light rock beat. You'll find music lyrics from artists such as Rich Mullins, Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman here.
I include Petra, Whiteheart, Newsboys and DC Talk under this category. The same inspirational message, with a bit more of a kick.
Ah, the Golden Oldies.... I can't remember those days, I wasn't born yet. However, I find the rebel/bubblegum/soul themes of these songs to be some of my favorites. In fact, if you know me, you KNOW I sing these in the car!
My friends often wonder where I get the lyrics to these weird songs every once in a while. I answer: "I inherited them from my mother." My mom was very into the folk/ballad era of the late sixties and early seventies-- what can I say? I got hooked on groups like Peter, Paul and Mary and the Chad Mitchell Trio.
These are the songs I like that don't fit into the other categories listed here. They include artists like Bette Midler, Celine Dion and songs like "Stormy Weather" and "Waitin' for My Dearie" from various Broadway Musicals.
