Default Do I have a bad taste in music?

I often wonder this to myself. I like CD's from bands/artists that most people despise. I like Metallica's "St. Anger", I like Megadeth's "Risk", hell, I like Limp Bizkit. Name me a band/CD, and I'll most likely like it. I like everything by almost anybody. I do not see the lines between genres like most do, I could go from Cannibal Corpse to Katy Perry to Nickelback. Do I have a bad taste in music, or am I more "musically-inclined" than most?

Well, taste is subjective. If you stick around here, and I hope you do, you'll probably end up broadening your tastes quite a bit. You might even look back at what you once thought of as "liking everything" as being a fairly narrow range of music.

The only style of music I don't like too much is Country, but even then, I love Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Conway Twitty, David Allan Coe, etc. Other than Country, I'm not very fond of bands like Queen of The Stone Age, Weezer, The White Stripes, and The Tragically Hip. Any band that's not Country, I will most likely listen to.

Yes, You do have bad taste in music. But, there's no point in asking other people. Since it's YOUR taste in music, you don't really need an outside source telling you like I am.

Have pride, and confidence in it.

Risk was a terrible album and I`m one of the few on here that probably quite likes St Anger and I`ve got a soft spot for Limp Bizkit. I`m also a music geek and often like what people regard as the best in music to sometimes what they regard as the worst.

To really know how good the bands you like are, you really need to listen to a very broad range of music and that can takes years to really absorb it, due to the amount of albums you need to listen to. Only then can you truly put into perspective the bands that you used to like.

More importantly, do you have an open mind? That's what's matters here.

I would say that is a pretty bad choice (if they are like your favourite albums) and you will need to expand your horizons a bit to truly say "I listen to everything".

Check some of the Last FM links in people's sig's to get hints and tips, or just some of the lists people have made.

As Pedestrian said, keep an open mind, don't turn off after one track (even if it's terrible goddamnit) and always question your own judgement!

I listen to every style of metal there is (death, black, thrash, etc.), every style of rock, grunge, hip hop, pop, electronica, techno, dub, old-school country, blues, classical. I have been browsing these forums for a few hours now, and trying to listen to everything new I haven't heard of before and I'm amazed with everything I've heard so far. I like all the classics that bands/artists have released, but I also enjoy their other "sub-par" releases. With Megadeth's "Risk", I don't hear it as just another Megadeth release, I hear it as a great hard rock release. "St. Anger" may have sounded nothing like "Master of Puppets", but it sounded like an excellent hard rock album to my ears.
