I listen to the music for the melody and, unless it is a bit older, I don't listen to music for the lyrics.

Dexys Midnight Runners
The Doors
Cream

WHAT??? No one has listed 'Eikona'?!?

What kind of Eastern Christians are you!

http://www.eikona.com/

(...actually, I highly recommend their beautiful recordings)

Actually I have music by Alex Avramovici and Teodor Munteanu, who despite being Romanian, play alot of Greek folk music, and in the near future I hope to purchase a bouzouki. Looking at one now for $499

Actually, if you look at this link, it has nothing to do with Greek folk music. They are a group of heavenly voices who sing all the Orthodox services in English.

(The bouzouki is great and I love it...it has an interesting history--it was brought to Greece in the early part of the 20th century by refugee Greeks of Asia Minor (Turkey), and was not considered 'Greek' music, until being mainstreamed in the early '60's by greats like Mikis Theodorakis and Hadjithakis who wrote Zorba the Greek, but you still won't hear it in the Greek Orthodox Church! LOL! --There is no such thing as bouzouki liturgies! )

Sorry. Didn't check and was confused by the name.
