What are your least favorite songs to sing at church? (And please explain why)
Favorite, when I was a kid: The Doxology. (Always sung just before dismissing. )
Favorite now (last I attended church, anyway): ... thinking ... I'll have to get back to you on that. It would probably be a hymn. Not fond of today's "Praise and Worship" music.
Least favorite, ever (besides anything in the P&W genre): Bringing in the Sheaves.

Favorite, Heaven's Jubilee. Love the words of that song.
Can't think of a least favorite.

Re: Favorite/Least Favorite Songs to Sing in Churc
I'm not too keen on the "contemporary" stuff sung in churches now, but I realize I am a dinosaur and am irrelevant when it comes to the worship music style for "today's" church in 2010 AD.
Re: Favorite/Least Favorite Songs to Sing in Churc
Does anybody like the contemporary praise and worship churches sing nowadays? A lot of people in the church I attend don't like it either...they all want to sing out of the hymn books.

Favorite: How Great Thou Art
Least Favorite: When I Think About the Lord - that song is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It has no resolution. The music goes.... da da DA da, da da DA, da..... over and over and over.... it never comes DOWN and rests. Makes me want to SCREAM!
"When I think about the Lord, how he saved me, how he raised me..."
Re: Favorite/Least Favorite Songs to Sing in Churc
Love the old classic hymns--most of them, anyway. It Is Well With My Soul, I Am Thine Oh Lord, Blessed Assurance, Rock of Ages, Jesus, Savior Pilot Me, etc.
I like songs that aren't overly repetitive, and that have some depth. I'm not opposed to "fun" songs, but they aren't what I spend a lot of time listening to. I do love a LOT of black gospel and choir music--and that's the most fun type to sing, IMO.
Contemporary Christian rarely catches my ear--it's kind of like secular pop--after awhile, it all sounds the same. Modern P & W...I agree with Timmy. I like some of it, but I can't stand the "dumbed down", repetitive stuff. I love well-done bluegrass, but I can only take so much country or southern gospel, being the least tolerant of the latter.
Those are just my personal preferences, though. I recognize that different music speaks to different people in different ways. I wouldn't make it a point of fellowship or even a big deciding factor in figuring out where to attend church.

Aw...I love that song--although it's been way overused, so it needs to "rest" for awhile anyway.
