(Beta David) I don't like Sixpence None the Richer at all and I can't say I know Willshire but VIVA VOCE are one of my 3 faves right now so that's my answer.

(BrightEyes) I'm only familiar with Sixpence & Wilshire, and while I think Lori Wilshire is one of the kindest, lovliest people I've ever met, I'm going to have to say Sixpence is the best.

(Tobias) Fleming & John! I don't know Wilshire and I've only heard a few songs from Viva Voce yet but I think it's Sixpence cause they're soooo great (Most of all the lyrics)

(David G.) Sixpence by far. Not only because of her vocals, but because of their music and what they have accomplished in the mainstream market.

(Jason) Sixpence None the Richer definitely!

(Rebekah) Sixpence... although I don't like any of them

(Christina S.) Viva Voce is awesome

B. What do you think is the wackiest song by a Christian artist that you've heard?

(Beta David) The "wackiest" song I've heard in the last year was by Everybody Duck -- something about a 10-pound Bible; though "Hats" (AG) first came to mind even though it isn't wacky, really -- or maybe it is, for Amy anyway.

(BrightEyes) Audio Adrenaline's version of "The Hairbrush Song!"

(Tobias) I guess it's "Cash Cow" from Steve Taylor (from Squint) but followed closely by "Jesus Freak Reprise" by Dc Talk and "Jesus and the California kid" by Audio A.

(David G.) "Life Boat", Steve Taylor, 'I predict 1990' .... ‘Ώis it a 'song' at all?!

(Rebekah) I personally am partial to the Hairbrush Song that Audio Adrenaline redid off of Veggie Tales. That was great. The wackiest music video however, is "Someday" by Plankeye. If you've never seen it, get a copy of the Seltzer 2 video.

(Christina S.) Well, the 'I'm so happy' song by Hocus Pick is always fun, and the whole 'surfonic' album is pretty funny (in that respect of course). But wacky... I like Joy Electric's rendition of Mxpx's "I'm ok you're ok" but I don't think that's wacky.

A. Rate these songs: 1-don't like 5-OK 10-My favorite! -Speechless, SCC -Live the Life, MWS -Mezzamorphis, Delirious

B. What song helped you go through a time of trial?
