The following is a comprehensive, alphabetical listing of mainstream artists whose songs have been covered (or *parodied) by Christian artists and bands. Many songs composed and/or performed by mainstream artists have been covered by Christian artists and bands. This goes to show that many Christian artists and bands have considered these songs as bearing in some way the inspiration and creativity of God (even if the mainstream artists themselves would not give God the glory for any of it) and therefore worthy of covering.
