Glory and Praise music was much of what we played back in the 80s...VERY liturgical and musical...we had guitars and other instruments, but our purpose wasnt to be a rock group...just provide good music. I loved a lot of the Glory and Praise music.

Well, the hymns out of G&P that I have heard are not particularly musical - repetitive, predictable, three-chord stuff - and they tend to be liturgically suspect, mostly because of the focus on "I, me, mine" instead of the glory of God.

But I don't know that I have a representative sample (having never had that hymnal in my hands), and I am also a musical reactionary . . . at least as far as sacred music is concerned.
