Obscure Music Friday

Song: Hail, Holy Queen

Artist: The Thirsting

Why I Like It: I don't like most contemporary Christian music, finding it to be somewhat vacuous and insipid - easy listening with poetic references to God. I prefer my church music to be traditional. But I also like it when a good rock band can bring some style to a classic song. In the same vein as The Vandals' rendition of "Here I Am, Lord", The Thirsting takes on a great Marian hymn.
