Good Music?

Music is more of a relative subject. What sounds good for someone may not sound that good to someone else. However what all music listeners should take into consideration is the influences that go int other music they love so much. For example, heavy distortion style of playing, seen in bands like slipknot and other heavy bands, was first exhibited by Jimi Hendrix. So to not like Jimi Hendrix and like slipknot is completely hypocritical. Another example is if one likes to hear Trans-Siberian Orchestra, but does not like symphonies. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is a group that takes symphonies and give them a rock remix. If one enjoys Slash's guitar playing but ignores the guitar playing of B.B. King and other blues artists, you cannot appreciate truly what is being played.

All in all listening to music and appreciating it are totally different things. Music can only stem from itself, so it is fair to say it is all connected and should all be at least considered but not necessarily liked.
