I think that whether or not one has bad taste in music depends more on how you address the things you don't like rather than the things you like. As pretty much everyone has agreed on so far, taste in music is subjective - it's all about what appeals to you. There isn't really even a definition of music that holds for all cases, so it's not like there's a "standard" to compare to.

I think it's fine to only like one type of music, hell, even just one band, provided you say that it's not that the music you don't like is bad, it's just not your thing. You may have a narrow taste in music, you might not be willing to experiment, but provided you say "hey man, that music you listen to is cool, but it just doesn't appeal to me", that's good taste. To turn around and say that everything you don't like is ****, to me, is Bad Taste, because you won't even entertain the concept that anything other than your opinion is valid.
