Okay, I got a question for all of you. This may not be necessarily related to U2. How subjective is music? People never stop arguing and posting thread after thread justifying their opinions about certain kinds of songs, genres, artists, styles etc. But how can these discussions be weighed or compared in order to generalize some kind of overall classification of good and bad music? For instance, if your kid sister says "The Backstreet Boys are the greatest band ever". You cant say she's wrong cos music taste is subjective, right? But that takes away all meaning from the term 'bad music'. Even if a band or pop group is really bad, I mean if they just can't play, struggle, make mistakes etc.; if somebody says they love the particular band, can you argue? Does subjectivity come into play there as well?
