I almost never listen to sermons or go to coffee hour. I like the music, that’s it.

I personally hate the music they play at church. I drag my feet and try to be late just so I can miss the 20 minutes of music before the sermon. Modern church music sucks. Maybe it's good for the radio but not before a sermon. The lyrics are empty and repetitive.

Modern church music sucks.

Yes it does.

We're Catholic and since most Catholic parishes are infested with that stuff unfortunately, we now go to the Latin Mass almost exclusively. The music is mostly Gregorian Chant and a few classic English hymns.

Our choir sometimes sings this during Holy Communion...it transports me straight to heaven:

There is unfortunately a lot of bad church music. If I am a stranger in a new town on a Sunday morning, I make a beeline and walk right out of a church if I see a drumkit up in front. The best option sometimes is just go the BBC Radio 3 website and listen to the latest episode of the weekly Choral Evensong broadcast.

The lyrics are empty and repetitive.

And the words could just as easily apply to your girlfriend!
