You have to find for yourself!!

I don't mean..... I have a belief  that there is potentially  good music and
bad music.

Good music is John Coltrane, Webern, Josquin De Prez, folk songs from
sardinia.....etc etc etc....Bad music is what is not music. And there are a
lot of things that they called music but they are not.
I'm not talking about an absolute ear don't misunderstand me  I' m talking
about a quality that you cannot measure.... actually.

Good is what makes a  folk mongolian song, a haydn, some electronic music
to be different than some commercial rubbish.

mean that I'll eat junk food!!
