When I was in the USAF back in 73 I remember argueing the merits of rock vs country music with a co-worker from Texas. After a few discussions that went nowhere he said in his Texas drawl, "if don't say anything about my music, I won't say anything about that shit you listen to." That about sums it up for me.
what is the difference between good and bad music
my friend says rap is bad music. another friend says mahler is a terrible composer.
is it all subjective, i.e., a matter of opinion ? or are there standards which can distinguish good from bad music, however one defines these terms ?
if there are standards, can one specify them or refer me to a source ?
