Catholics should not be listening to music with syncopated rhythm! It is bad music. I am surprised to see such music in this thread, what do your confessors say when you tell them about this!?

Why is this? I've never heard such a thing before. Unless you're kidding?

No, many priests say such things.

cutting out music with syncopated rhythm is REALLY going to narrow down your options.  what will you dance to at parties and weddings

This whole forum needs more polka. 

[Chestertonian]

Indeed.  And that polka piece has "syncopated rhythm" all over it

[MilesChristi]

Syncopation is used in many musical styles, and is fundamental in styles such as ragtime, jazz, jump blues, funk, gospel, reggae, dub, hip hop, breakbeat, UK garage, dubstep, drum'n'bass, progressive house, progressive rock / metal, djent, groove metal, nu metal, samba, baião, and ska. "All dance music makes use of syncopation and it's often a vital element that helps tie the whole track together".[3] In the form of a back beat, syncopation is used in virtually all contemporary popular music.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncopation

Syncopation has been an important element of European musical composition since at least the Middle Ages. J.S. Bach and Handel used syncopated rhythms as an inherent part of their compositions; Haydn used it to create variety. Syncopation was used by Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, especially in their symphonies, for both purposes. This can be heard in Mozart's 38th and Beethoven's 7th. Syncopation is an essential part of the character of some musical styles, such as jazz and ragtime. Hungarian Csárdás song-dances are always syncopated. The "Scotch snap" of Scotland also feature syncopation.[1][4]

suppose you could say that rock music's rhythm has a sensual beat...

but  clearly the celibate priest who wrote those articles doesnt have much experience with romancing a beautiful lady with classical music.. faure's pavane op 50 is quite sensual.. thepatient, gentle rhythm balanced with the swooning musical phrasingand hauntingly beautiful melody will cure any "headache" (the sort that only seem to occur after hours).  the reason why rock music is more popular than faure's pavae op 50 is an evil plot by johnson and johnson to sell more tylenol.

I was transfixed by this! What a haunting little piece. Thanks, Chestertonian.
