Why do some people prefer classical music over rock-n-roll?

Still waiting for an answer to the original statement involving Casting Crowns...how do they use the drums in a bad manner? And how do you determine it? Is it the loudness...the number of beats per measure... what is it? I don't want examples of music you prefer or don't prefer (we all have that) we are talking about using the drums in a "bad" manner and what makes it "bad"...your preference or my preference doesn't make any difference of what is "good" or "bad".

Good luck on getting an answer.

Ok.
1) music composed by Christians who wanted to glorify God
and
2) pagan demonic music
are two valid music categories. But some rock 'n' roll is in the 1st category, and any that I'd want to use in church certainly is. And not all music that isn't in the 1st category is in the 2nd. If IMO something is clearly in the 2nd category, I'll remove it from my playlist.

Sure, there is no difference at all.Which one of these would you prefer in worshipping God? In your church? be truthful now.
How Great Thou Art (Punk Rock Version)
How Great Thou Art
I prefer the second. But that's mainly because the band in the first one isn't very good.

That's a bad example. Punk Rock and Classic hymns don't mix well.
And nobody worships God in church with punk rock - I've never heard of such a thing in churches.

Agreed. But I'm still hoping someone will make a good heavy metal version of A Mighty Fortress is Our God.

I don't know exactly what determines in how many beats, loudness, etc. but do believe that some things do not belong in church! If you like Rock n'Roll put a CD in and rock (at home, in your car) but IMO it has no business in the worship of God. I listen at times to some country music (and yes much of it is worldly) but would never think of bringing it into the church. There now you have something on me. ;D

Why is that? What is wrong with punk rock in the church?

I think actually I have heard of it, seen a clip from a Lutheran church in Sweden with punk rock. It wasn't bad, maybe I'd like it if I were to visit. But the punk band you posted a clip of really wasn't very good, and their singer had a terrible voice. He would've been booted off American Idol after his first appearance.
When I say I want rock in church, I'm thinking more classic rock, like if the Steve Miller Band went Christian... and there are Christian bands not too far from that.

Internet Troll
A person whose sole purpose in life is to seek out people to argue with on the internet over extremely trivial issues. Such arguments can happen on blogs, Facebook, Myspace and a host of others.
I went to a friends church a few times as a teenager and they had a punk type band that would play at youth events. Mosh pits at church are weird, but they do happen. I'll admit to liking several Christian punk bands, and some Christian metal bands., although I agree that the band you posted sucked.
That said, I do prefer traditional hymns for worship, and would choose them in most cases even over modern praise & worship songs. A lot of it has to do with mood and atmosphere- I find myself getting really into the beat and groove of most rock type songs, but find softer music easier to focus on the words of. I also know a lot of people don't like punk, and a lot of people still think only certain music is appropriate for church, and I would rather they be able to join in and praise God that to be made uncomfortable just so a vocal minority got to rock out to their preferred genre.

This may be true, but most who listen to classical music pieces would probably be unaware of that, while it is hard to say the same while listening to rock and roll. Generally I associate relaxation with classical music and discontentment with rock and roll.
Here's God's view of some music.
Amos 5:23
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
Of course you should also consider the context. What it means is is that even good music is not necessarily good?
