Now the "Christian Rock" and contemporary choruses that repeat the same words over, and over, and over again are just too much to handle.

Remember "bubble-gum rock?" Puerile and banal lyrics, simple tunes ... Bubble-gum hymnody chews the same mouthful over and over again until all the flavor is leached out of it.

"Bubble-gum hymnody chews the same mouthful over and over again until all the flavor is leached out of it."

Good analogy! Sugarless bubble-gum, no less!

Kind of like that "It's a Small World, After All" song, eh?

Still, while I don't particularly care for Christian Rock, I'm sure there were folks who objected to virtually all Christian music at the time it was introduced. Even basic polyphony was fought against by many when it was introduced into the Church. After all, what was the matter with good old plainsong? [grin]
