What is this "objective quality of music" you speak of?
Art without possesses no non-subjective quality. You need a tool by which to measure quality before you can make statements about the "quality" of music. People who don't like Mozart are gonna say Mozart "sucks."
This is why art is art. If art was science, you'd probably have something to gripe about.
All you're really saying is that you don't like Kanye West. So why don't you just say that, instead of acting as though it's everyone else's problem for liking him? It's more respectful and respectable.
As brilliant as Bach was, I'm always going to prefer Aphex Twin, and Thurston Moore's extended feedback jams. Am I wrong to feel this way? Impossible to say.
Kanye shits all over Mozart and Bach too. haha
