Even if you could make a case for certain criteria of music to be objectively looked at (ie technical ability) the extent to which one values these criteria when deciding what they like/dislike is completely subjective.
Personally I think technical skill does not necessarily mean good music. Yngwie Malmsteen might be a really good guitarist but i dont think his music is great. Thats my subjective opinion. If you think he is great because of his ability, then thats also subjective.
There is no such thing as objectively "better" music. There is no overall goal in music (unlike sports) so its impossible to be able to prove one artist is better than another
