Is there such a thing as "Real Christian Music?"

In today’s world, we as a culture tend to have music as a backdrop to life. We often have music playing quietly in our homes, cars, shops, (even elevators?) etc. We carry music players with us as we walk around. Music ‘speaks’ to the listener in a different path from words & sentences.

What we listen to affects our thoughts and moods. The content of all this we which we have surrounded ourselves matters greatly.

But our preferences can vary greatly. A preacher I admire once stated that there are no intrinsically bad music styles, but there are very destructive lyrics.

I have seen churches split apart though due to musical choices and even to if can use any electrical instruments in worship
 
Music type/style is a question of personal choice. Music is a gift from God; it should be used to glorify God. The proper kind of music is that which inspires worship of God in the hearts of singers/listeners.
That is why really like the classic Hymns, as they seem to have much better theology in their wording , but also do like Christian contemporary, and Elvis Gospel
