When it comes to music, most people think I have weird taste. Well, maybe not you nice guys and gals who read my blog. People have described my musical tastes as “bizarre,” “eccentric,” “eclectic,” “weird,” “crazy,” “boring,” and “dumb.”
Contrary to what they may think, though, I do like some “normal” music once in a while too. I really do enjoy quite a few songs by Delirous?, Shane and Shane, Lifehouse, and even Newsboys. I try not to be a total music snob, though I fear I’m becoming somewhat of one, and I try to come to all music I hear with an open mind.
Jon Abel is one of those “normal” guys I’m starting to like. He sounds a lot like Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, Tim Hughes, and other worship leader guys (this despite his incredibly cool suitcase). His lyrics are a little cliched, the music is a little boring, and the themes are a little over-used, but for those times that you really do just want some simple good Chris Tomlin-styled worship music, he’s perfect.
