It might surprise most people that this debate has been taking place at every period in Church history. Would you believe that a lot of folks (such as the Pietists) during the Baroque period (approx. 1600-1750 A.D.) considered the music of J.S. Bach too "over the top" and sinful to play for worship? Centuries before that, when plainsong (later known as Gregorian chant) was THE music of the church in the Medieval period (1400s), it was scandalous to some when French poet and composer Guillaume de Machaut began separating vocal parts into what became known as tenor, alto, and soprano, since chant had originally been all voices singing the same notes at the same time.
It isn't a style issue, it is a heart issue :)
