Bill Withers hasn't been mentioned yet, has he?
It's impossible not to like that man, and his Live At Carnegie Hall is one of the best live albums I know of.
Just As I Am and Still Bill are of course must-haves too.

Lots of good recommendations here, may I add a few.. If you like metal/metalcore, the CHristian Metalcore scene is huge right now! I myself am not in anyway religious or a christian but I often enjoy "Christian" or "Pseudo Christian" bands because they seem to play with more emotion/conviction and put more thought and less garbage into their lyrical content.
Haste The Day "Dreamer"
Oh, Sleeper "Son of the Morning"
August Burns Red "Constellations"
Project 86 "Drawing Black Lines"
Inhale/Exhale "Bury Me Alive"
Becoming the Archetype "The Physics of Fire"
Destroy The Runner "Saints"
Sorry if I posted too much crap.

Just wondering, what is considered christian music? Bands that sing primarily about christian stuff? If so, mewithoutYou seem to be singing about god a lot of the time ("every song in praise of you") so I guess they could be considered christian.

I know that I am the strangest member on Head-Fi, but this is my all time favorite Christmas album!
This album rules all other Christmas albums. Oh I thought it said Christmas music!

I know this will not go over well but I for one love the Southern Gospel sound. The harmonies of the voices are fantastic. Just listen to something by Gaither Vocal Band and you will hear the best voices I have ever heard. Of course I am partial to this type of music due to having performed it for so long myself. I have been to alot of live concerts and I always get a blessing from hearing these guys. Just my opinion.

Anything by Shane + Shane or Caedmon's Call.
Fantastic musicians and solid theology, for both groups.

"Jesus is my girlfriend" music. Yup, all too common, but not what I would consider "Christian music".
Marketed nonsense, if you ask me. Drive them out of the temple and overturn their tables!

My sister and mother enjoy Ayiesha Woods very much. I used to enjoy Relient K a lot, my taste in music has changed recently, and now I don't really enjoy them as much as I used to. I must say, though, their song Deathbed is absolutely fantastic; it is an excellent combination of every style they have done.
Anyway, I would like to recommend Transatlantic. They are a progressive rock band formed of Neal Morse (vocals/keyboard, Spock's Beard), Mike Portnoy (drummer, Dream Theater), Roine Stolt (leader, Kaipa and The Flower Kings), and Pete Trewavas (Marillion).
The group is not explicitly Christian, but being that Neal Morse is with them, their lyrics contain many Christian elements. At least, this is true of their latest album, The Whirlwind. I've not heard any of the rest of them. Many say this latest is their best. I don't know, but I surely enjoy it.

In my opinion, the music's subpar and the lyrics are often a) sentimentalized excerpts from biblical texts ripped out of context or b) of the Jesus-is-my-boyfriend persuasion or c) religiously unrealistic (e.g., making unrealistic statement of commitment.
I have the same problem with much of Pentecostal preaching and writing, so this isn't surprising.
PS: Just saw Mark's comment. Right on.
