What do you think Jesus would have on His iPod?

Asked by Blondesjon (34000points) September 12th, 2009

Would it be a bunch of shitty Christian rock or maybe some Sinatra? Would he embrace the whole Hip-Hop thing or lean more toward the Metal? Sheryl Crow or The Black Crowes?

Help me out here Fluther so I can finally get some sleep.

Even Jesus hates “Creed”.

By everything I’ve heard, Jesus sounds like a pretty mellow guy.
He’s probably got some Grateful Dead on the iPod.

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

he probably likes coldplay…...........................

jrpowell's avatar

Nine Inch Nails

lefteh's avatar

Tupac and Nirvana.

drdoombot's avatar

He’d be listening to the Psalms of David set to music. Oh, and the Songs of Solomon.

loser's avatar

The soundtrack to Jesus Christ Superstar.

oratio's avatar

Well, The Beatles of course. They are bigger than Jesus.

DominicX's avatar

He’d probably like a lot of the religious classical music. I’m sure the pieces that were designed specifically to praise Jesus he wouldn’t pass up.

rebbel's avatar

And the Best of The Carpenters.

The Rainbow Connection

Think about it. They do have a lot in common. Both are the ultimate in optimism !

lol @The_Compassionate_Heretic, I bet he has some Nickelback on there as well.

God is a DJ by Faithless / Pink

rap and heavy metal.

Hurt. by Johnny Cash

sandystrachan's avatar

Being Hispanic Jesus would have some proper rap on it , You did mean Jesus and not the mythocal being JEsus didn’t you ?

teh_kvlt_liberal's avatar

Obviously Deicide and Slayer

I think he would have spanish music, whatever that is. Like mariachi bands and stuff.

The 600+ commandments

Black Sabbath and Jesus Jones.

seVen's avatar

That’s a question I find from many who don’t know / study the Word of God.
...God’s nature is HOLY , God doesn’t content in Nothing that’s foolish / unholy , unless the intent of someones music is true from heart of praise & worship, but that must be sincere SINCERE.

sandystrachan's avatar

Can the ipod play films ??? If so Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

@seVen have fun listening to Kumbaya.

@seVen- Way to suck the fun out of this question.

laureth's avatar

Who is to say that a given kind of music isn’t from the heart, and genuine? Okay, so the Spice Girls were manufactured pop, but I bet a lot of rap, blues, country, and all kinds of other non-churchy music is still “sincere SINCERE”.

Magnus's avatar

Ravi Shankar.

sandystrachan's avatar

@Jenniehowell Yea we all know Jesus loves kiddie fiddlers( Michael Jackson ). LULZ

teh_kvlt_liberal's avatar

Like father like son :)

benjaminlevi's avatar

and the holy spirit listens to Pantera

essieness's avatar

@Magnus Lurve for Ravi Shankar, and go ahead and throw in Anoushka.

Jesus was a pretty hip, forward thinking guy. I bet he’d be listening to some undiscovered indie music.

RareDenver's avatar

orbital – one perfect sunrise

I was there, as an atheist it was the closest I ever felt to god

markyy's avatar

Wouldn’t it be nice if Jesus would listen to self help tapes on his Ipod :)

The Village People!
Seriously, who doesn’t have them on their iPods?

Tink's avatar

@teh_kvlt_liberal Never even heard of them…

teh_kvlt_liberal's avatar

@RD Well you’re not straight until you have them on your ipod!
@Tink that’s okay, you’re still too young :)

Jenniehowell's avatar

@sandystrachan – 1st Jesus per the bible loves ALL humanity & spent much of his time with the scourge of the earth; 2nd no ‘kiddie fiddling’ case has been proven against MJ; 3rd the songs apply regardless – if the words to songs/poems etc no longer applied after they were said by someone committing attrocities then most religions could be omitted along with congress & most governments LOL

Darwin's avatar

Actually, according to this song, it would certainly be anything except banjo music.

teh_kvlt_liberal's avatar

I’m glad you’re out of the closet, bro!

Tink's avatar

I wonder how many gigs Jesus’s iPod had anyways…

deni's avatar

@teh_kvlt_liberal OOOOO lurve for the village people!

Buttonstc's avatar

If Jesus is hangin’ around here with an iPod, then it’s definitely:

“The End of the World as We Know it.”

And I think he would make room for:

“Losing My Religion”

(after all, his strongest words of criticism were reserved for the most religious figures of his day-the Pharisees and Saducces for their religious hypocrisy. He Himself was spiritual rather than merely religious, so he certainly wouldn’t mind losing the fakeness of religion.

He may also be the only one to understand fully the mumblings of R.E.M. :D

RareDenver's avatar

There’s only one way of life and that’s your own One Way

deni's avatar

Also I’d assume he would have “Seasons of Love” from the musical RENT on there.

markyy's avatar

I was just listening to The Gossip – Heavy Cross and I had to come back here :)

jonsblond's avatar

This song by Jane’s Addiction.

Bluefreedom's avatar

I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have the song “Heaven’s On Fire” by KISS on his iPod.

As far as a sure thing goes, he’d certainly have the song “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong because it is such a beautiful tune.

AstroChuck's avatar

Perhaps a little Nazareth.

serendipity's avatar

Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Going My Way?”

Tink's avatar

I just remembered, ”Stairway To Heaven” – Led Zeppelin

Hello? The Doobie Brothers!

brinibear's avatar

God is a Girl By Groove Coverage

aprilsimnel's avatar

I think he’d like The Beatles, sure, the Lennon and Harrison songs for sure. I think he’d be a bit of a folkie. Some Joni Mitchell, some Joan Baez, Bob Dylan -type stuff, like Masters of War.

Kraigmo's avatar

The Grateful Dead

dalepetrie's avatar

Most likely hymns. And probably Baby’s Got Back by Sir Mixalot, I hear the J-man’s down with the badonkadonk.

and does anyone but me find it incredibly interesting that the only thing spell check comes up with when you click to correct badondakdonk is “belladonna”?

answerjill's avatar

“Cat’s in the Cradle”
“What if Jesus Came Back Like That”
“American Pie”
and maybe a little klezmer, just for fun.

aprilsimnel's avatar

He doesn’t tell anyone, but along with the Neil Young, he’s also got Who Needs Love Like That? by Erasure, too It’s his “guilty pleasure” song.

AstroChuck's avatar

I heard that Jesus prefers the Zune.
He must be crazy.

teh_kvlt_liberal's avatar

People still use the Zune?

Tink's avatar

Zune? That’s a dinosaur!

TitsMcGhee's avatar

Definitely a good bit of Sufjan Stevens.

dalepetrie's avatar

Dude, I fucking LOVE my Zune. Y’all bitches can suck it. 120 gigs, huge bright screen, great file system, and I don’t have to be like everyone else…oooh, iPod, how fucking original.

Tink's avatar

@dalepetrie Damn that was one fucken good answer!

dalepetrie's avatar

Jesus told me to write that.

mattbrowne's avatar

Audio books mostly. “On Regimen in Acute Diseases” by Hippocrates or “The Best Physician is also a Philosopher” by Galen. Jesus was a psychotherapist.

cyn's avatar

what’s a zune?

sweetteaindahouse's avatar

The Beatles, some other calm stuff, and Led Zeppelin for when he feels like rocking out to awesomeness.

benjaminlevi's avatar

Why would Jesus need an ipod? Couldn’t Jesus just magically make the music play around him? I mean he is Jesus

aprilsimnel's avatar

Yeah, but he’s not a show-off.

mattbrowne's avatar

@benjaminlevi – Jesus didn’t use any magic. Some people who met him or wrote stories about him later thought he did.

benjaminlevi's avatar

@mattbrowne The whole coming back from the dead thing wasn’t magic?

RareDenver's avatar

@benjaminlevi no silly, that was faith!

brinibear's avatar

Captured By Grace By Steele Crosswhite I’m sure that since I really love well, anything that Steele writes, Jesus will to. Sorry that it’s not the best vid. I couldn’t find the one from church

benjaminlevi's avatar

@RareDenver Which is different than magic how?

RareDenver's avatar

@benjaminlevi I was being sarcastic

benjaminlevi's avatar

I thought so

SeventhSense's avatar

@brinibear
Well he can play guitar OK but he seems quite disturbed.

brinibear's avatar

@SeventhSense this guy is really an awesome person. I use to go to his church. He really helped me out when I started on my own. He cosigned for me to get my apartment. I have never met somebody who would go out of their way to help like that.

SeventhSense's avatar

I am always leery of strangers with gifts. Especially those with a “higher” agenda.

mattbrowne's avatar

@benjaminlevi – No, either those patients weren’t dead or propagation by oral traditions was inaccurate. And resurrection should not be understood in a literal biological sense.

My father-in-law passed away 3 years ago and my mother-in-law has repeatedly told me that on some days when she enters a particular room in her house she could for a moment see her husband sitting there. Neural networks are very powerful. If you learn a new melody and play it on a piano with your right hand almost the same neurons are active compared to when being asked to imagine playing the melody on the piano and listening to it.

urbanprimate's avatar

tough question, maybe the doors. or maybe he’d go as raw as dystopia

dalepetrie's avatar

Charlotte Church, Amy Grant and Eyehategod (he has daddy issues).

RareDenver's avatar

@dalepetrie I would have Daddy issues too if my Dad had sent me somewhere knowing I would end up getting crucified there.
