If I have a choice of listening to what I, and everyone I know, considers to be a good band or a band that I enjoy more, ergo more to my taste, I will without fail pick the latter. Example, I agree that Bjork makes good music, however I hate that Icelandic tart and would never ever listen to her given the option not to. Is there hope that this “Good Music” can trump musical taste? No. Can it be recognized by every open-minded listener as simply: good. Yes.

Yes, I do believe that there is such thing as universally good music! I hope that you all agree that most of these songs are "good" even if you don't like them! 2. Is there hope? I don't know, that's why I asked the question, you doufus! 1. Yes, I do believe that there is such thing as universally good music!
