If there were lots of vibrant non-liturgical religious expression going on, people would learn to appreciate the distinctiveness of the Mass as the Mass.

There are. Lots of them. many people, though want a one stop shop. Having experienced the chant and the a cappella music in the right acoustical environment, it's difficult for some of us to truly be able to assist using Christian Rock.

The sad thing is that it really isn't all that difficult to make Mass as inspiring to Heaven as possible using music. That's what the vaulted ceilings and the chant and incense is all about. There's nothing like chant in a big, gothic church with no carpet on the floor.

Amen. I'll second that.
