IMO good church music must:
1) Be easy to sing, even for the non-musical
2) Have little to no pablum
3) Not be faddish
That pretty much leaves the mainline churches. Evangelical music is hard to sing and has pablum. BRTD's music is too hard to sing, and faddish. Progressive mainline music is pablum, albeit a different sort than the Evangelicals.
Catholic music has pablum and seems to be stuck in 70's folk music mode*. That pretty much leaves the mainlines of all stripes. Take your pick. Liberal, or conservative, Presbyterian, Anglican, whatever. They probably have the best music.
*Maybe someone can correct me on this one. Is this representative of your typical suburban parish?
