Music is all preference the Spirit doesn't "Move" with one kind of music our emotions are stirred by music. We equate a "Move of the Spirit" to the song that moves us, let's not confuse the two.

I can not agree with this.
I really believe that the Holy Spirit will not be manifested in our services if our Praise and Worship leaders sung songs similar to Toby Mac's, "Extreme Days."
Is there anything wrong with the song?
No way! Does it lead me to worship? No way, but I sure do feel pumped after listening to it!!!
Even I know there is more to praise and more to worship than feeling pumped.
Is there a better chance that the Holy Spirit would move with Chris Tomlin's, "Better Is One Day"?
It's not the song as much as the mind set that the song puts you in.
Some of Shirley Caesar's and Donnie McClurkin's music helps us to bring our minds and hearts to a place where we can praise God from our heart and receive from Him the blessings of His presence manifested in our services.
There is more to this than preference, though it may be a part of it. It's definitely not all that there is to this issue.
Much of the CCM produced today DOES NOTHING to create an atmosphere of worship and does nothing to put us in the right frame of mind to praise and worship God from our hearts, with our voice and with the activity of our limbs.
I don't think I've said anything that is particularly disagreeable.
