It has only a bit to do with taste. Good/bad music is fairly easily quantifiable. Use this formula: Intent/Content/Execution. The execution of the intent is worth far more than just plain execution. Just because a person can play well, or fast doesn't make what they are playing good. For instance, if the most talented painter in the world paints nothing but big breasted women... well it probably isn't good art. Although, that does still depend on his intent. It certainly makes a difference if he is attempting to say something by painting pictures of women with big breasts (depending on what that something is).
I look at music as art. Not as mere entertainment. I will, repeat WILL let you know when you are pouring shit art into your ears. It's a public service.
