You can't define what's good music or not, everyone has their own opinions of good music.

You just have to live with it.
I disagree. I have enjoyed quite a lot of pieces that I know are really bad pieces. I think that there's a line between silly enjoyable pieces and enjoyable pieces that are genuinely well-composed. I used to (and forgive me for this) enjoy some of Rolf Harris' pieces quite a lot, but I also loved Stravinsky and Schoenberg, and I would certainly not rank Harris in the same league as Stravinsky, even though I enjoyed some of his music to the same extent (but for entirely different reasons).
