Name secular songs covered by Christian bands.

Greg Volz- Dream on

Why would someone dislike this post? I say WAY more offensive things on here on a daily basis. (Just ask Kerrick).

Does After Forever count as secular?

Yeah I see so many posts I object to that have 0 dislikes (not from you exactly) and then you say "I listen to the original song" and someone gives it a thumbs down

Anyone that hits dislike on any post at all is a muppet. Show me your face and then speak your words,  like a real man!

Not really, it's one of the best examples of a Christian song from a secular band.

Original from sabbath will never be beaten. Just give up covering this tune all ready! The only song I have heard that equals a sabbath cover is Pantera covering Planet Caravan.

Not sure if these count as it's not a band but Ted Kirkpatrick with guest vocalists.

But anyway:

Ted Kirkpatrick /w Chris Jericho - War Pigs
Ted Kirkpatrick /w Corey Glover - Into the Void
Ted Kirkpatrick /w Trevor McNevan - Lord of this World
Ted Kirkpatrick /w Eric Wagner - Electric Funeral
Ted Kirkpatrick /w Tim Ripper Owens - Children of the Grave

All Black Sabbath songs. They are from Ted's cover album The Doom in Us All: A Tribute to Black Sabbath.
Ted Kirkpatrick on drums and guitar. Dug Pinnick from King's X on bass.
