Do I have a bad taste in music?

Only you can really answer the question of whether or not you have bad taste, and when you do Dorothy, you'll find that you've known all along.

The only way I think to work out the good from the average is to listen to a lot from a particular genre, then you probably can tell which things are more generic and which are more creative. As for lines between genres it's just a matter of convenience for me in exploring music, ultimately music is simply music. In fact my album collection isn't categorised by genres it's ordered chronologically.

O.k. I can buy in on 'St. Anger' and 'Risk' but you lost me at Nickelback!

People have accused me of something akin to this...having 'no taste' in music, because I will listen to literally anything, and can ALWAYS** find some kind of redeeming quality in whatever I'm listening.

I'm more than willing to admit that whatever band/group/singer/rapper/whatever sucks, but at the same turn of hat I can usually point out two or more things about a particular song or album from their catalog that I really enjoy.

**exceptions (because there always are) to this statement include but are not limited to: Blood On the Dance Floor, HIM...that's about all I can think of. But man, ****ing Blood on the Dance Floor is atrocious. Oh! And Jeffree Starr. **** that guy/girl/whateverthe**** he calls himself these days.

It all depends on what music you like.

I'm late to this party. Short answer is no. Something a lot of people forget is there is no objectively good or bad music artists, it's all subjective.

I mean no one necesarily has bad taste at all. Everyone should like their music. That was my point. Everyone is different. Always why the hell else we would have rap, r&b, rock, african, japan and etc.
