Do you prefer the lyrical style of classic hymns or Christian hardcore?

I won't even include Christian contemporary music, because no one here would vote for that crap.

I sure wouldn't.

Write-in:  Christian pop/contemporary like Francesca Battistelli

"I don't need my name in lights/I'm famous in my Father's eyes."  Ugh.  I can't stand that song, because people can be famous for bad things (like Hitler).  I would prefer something more specific that expresses God's love, like "I'm precious in my Father's eyes," or "I'm cherished in my Father's eyes."  Something that expresses that fame and fortune don't matter to you because you know how much God loves you.

I also hate the line "And You're free to be You."  God doesn't need his creation telling him he's "free" to be Himself; He is who He is.  (Although that song is generally good otherwise.)

I generally prefer the classic christian hymns overall. Even though I have nothing against christian hardcore music, I was never able to get into it that much.

This.  I'm generally not a fan of contemporary Christian music in any form except praise hymns, although unlike most in my local church, I do not believe it is inherently bad or wrong.  It's just poorly written and performed, for the most part.

Although I recently heard this on the radio and actually loved it, maybe because it reminds me a lot of the traditional hymns (both lyrics and music.)
