The Jars Of Clays album 'Good Monsters' is one of the best albums of the decade and yet because of the selective descimination against Christian artist by much of the British media your average listening public won't get to hear it. That can't be right !!
Its also insulting to the public as well because it means that the media doesn't think that the public can make informed choices about what they listen to. If an album is good, its good.
