To begin with, Nobody has answered yet WHAT makes music good. If it's THAT evident, someone should point out exactly what does it.
As for me, I'll keep believing that music is just a form of folklore made by a particular group of people or other, and that it's in no way an universal truth, because it is something created by humans, and if you say something created by humans is an universal truth, well, you think too high of us.
Things are what they are, the concepts of "good" and "bad" included. Once you employ the word "good", you are presenting an opinion.
I'm not saying good music doesn't exist. It does, and is what it is: any particular song you like. It just so happens that any "good" thing isn't universally good.
Now if you attach to music a parameter that can be expressed in measurable quantities (say, tempo -faster songs are better-) , it then is comparable via those parameters. But even then, excelling in one aspect doesn't guarantee overall superiority.
