Organ music

It must be me. I was sitting in church getting myself ready for worship and listening to the music. It suddenly occurred to me than the noise issuing from the organ pipes was unpleasant and not doing anything for me. I guess I need some music appreciation lessons. It was very different than going to a Mavericks game and coming to the unpleasant realization that Humble Billy Hayes is never going to shut up, but I get the same helpless feeling that something others find entertaining, exciting, uplifting or soothing is completely inaccessible to me.
 
There are some organ music passages that are quite discordant, imo. Most of it is beautiful, but some of it borders on the atonal for me.
 
Just once I would like to walk into a church and hear the hypnotic organ refrain of Deep Purple's "Child in Time".

Excellent Third Coast. Love me some DP!! Jon Lord is awesome. He played his organ through Marshall amps and was able to get that huge sound. Love the Hammond organ sound.

Would love to hear Keith Emerson play tunes off of Brain Salad Surgery or Fanfare for the Common Man through a large pipe organ in a large cathedral.
