I know exatly how you feel, man. Almost all of the people I knwo who play instruments and are even the slight bit interested in playing in a band have shitty taste in music. They don't match up with me at all. Just recently, I tried to pull my friend Billy (who used to be a good guitarist before he quit playing) into this pseudo-band (we're trying to get some people) that some of us are trying to form. He said he'd be interested, but I know for a fact his musical preferences are kinda crummy and differ greatly from my own. He has no idea who Sonic Youth is (let alone all of the other indie/alternative/good rock bands I listen to) and the closest he's ever come to hearing anything close to my musical preferences would be Nirvana, which he isn't a big fan of. Shit just doesn't work out the way you want. I only know a couple of other people who like the same music that I do and one is 13 years older than me and is also my guitar teacher. But he already has a full-time job, a house, mortgage, family, and a band of his own so he wouldn't be interested in hanging out with a bunch of young college students who are mediocre musicians.
