Has there ever been a Christian album with an explicit lyric tag?

Has there ever been a Christian album with an explicit lyric tag? That's an oxymoron! ;) An artist/group who service themselves to the Christian market cannot have explicit lyrics in their material! That doesn't go with the whole "safe for the family" gimmick of a lot of especially Christian AC stations. If that were to happen, that band would be immediately puleed from all Christian bookstores and radio stations. |

Hoku says "damn" in one of the songs on her debut album, featuring the should-have-been Christian smash, "You First Believed."

Actually there is some precedent. Here's 2 examples...
1. When the Vigilantes of Love released Love Cocoon back in 1997, a lot of Christian bookstores would not carry it because album's main themes was about lovemaking, albeit in marital form. Apparently, the Christian bookstores found this too explicit, even if it dealt with married people.
2. Remeber the cover artwork of Sixpence None the Richer's 1997 self-titled album (the one with "Kiss Me" and "There She Goes")? You have a picture of a naked Adam and Eve with a big leaf covering the strategic parts. Not an eyebrow was raised here; in fact, CCM magazine had ads for the album, and they weren't censored.
