Hasidic Music, Pros and Cons

        Hasidic Music, lai-da-dai, yai-da-dai, lai-da-dai, de-de-doy,
we all love to rag on Hasidic music for being "schmaltzy" or perhaps a bit
too heavy-metal for our taste. But really, who has ever heard music like
this before? Sure, songs about Moshiach, and building up the Temple, and
the lyrics of the prophets put to music actually date back centuries, but
who in this day and age listens to such stuff in their car driving to
work? Any responses?
