That can't be any worse than my taste in music. This is one of my favorite CDs to listen to. ;)

Sounds like an even weirder version of Moore's paradox. "I like this music, which I consider to be bad music."

I know how you feel though... my particular albatross is that I'm a subdued teetotaller geek whose favourite songs invariably consist of whiskey, philandering and pub brawls, whack-fall-the-derry-o.

I enjoy a band that I believe to be of fairly mediocre quality. I've noticed that I can only enjoy them when I'm not paying close attention; as background music while I'm doing something else, they're one of my favorite bands, but when I deliberately put them on to listen to, they're painfully bad.
