I have to admit, even though I see myself as a Traditional Catholic, I like the music from the mid-eighties on best, except for a few classical hymns.

The words to the modern songs, are a different story.

:-) One of my favorite Christmas songs is the little Drummer Boy, which has the sound of an older song, but was composed in 1957 or so. IIRC the Pope wasn't casting off new songs out of hand.

I think that there's value in looking at which songs are representative of parish prayer and which are less so.
