You'll find no shortage of sympathizers here, I think. I myself grew up in a Pentecostal church where contemporary "praise & worship" choruses were the main fair. There were, of course, a few old favorite hymns, among them "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus," "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," "Nothing but the Blood," "Amazing Grace," and so forth. But these seemed to be sung only when the pastor felt particularly nostalgic.

I was positively amazed to discover the rich heritage of hymns that in the past 30 or so years had been all but entirely abandoned in most of the evangelical church. After having done a lot more thinking about what God desires in worship, I've left the "praise & worship" music far behind. It is utterly devoid of godly reverence or nourishing spiritual food. It's the equivalent of subsisting on Twinkies.
