Other than that, I've always been pretty selective in the music I listen to. One could even call it being somewhat of a musical snob, I guess. I cannot really recall anything I would had listened to in the past that I'd now consider "bad".
listening to foo fighters doesn't make u a musical snob, buddy.

being younger, I'm surrounded by people who listen to...well, pretty shallow music. that's not exclusive to my age group because there are a lot of older people who have less than stellar taste but it is prevalent among my peers given the lack of experience and listening history.
I give in sometimes and there are few tracks I start to like (and almost certainly get sick of after the novelty has worn off) but in the end and when I'm alone I listen to a lot more eclectic stuff. I hate to come off as pompous because I know there are many who are far more serious about music and dig much deeper, but when I pit my tastes against those around me (and as biased as I may be) there's no comparison.
I crave my own stuff when I'm with my friends or girlfriend, or the usual social event. the kind of music they like does nothing for me in a club. the radio especially annoys me to no end. I'm lucky if I hear 5 songs I like from an entire day of listening. I do consider my taste to be more refined and with that said I require something more subtle and deeper. something that'll envoke real emotion in me. I'm very picky with that.... no matter what it is I can't fake emotion.
Do I have good taste in music? I don't know. I'd say I have an above average taste. As much as it is subjective there's also a standard. It's hard to make sense of it all and I think thats the great thing about it. we'll always give us something to talk about. not necessarily to pit our tastes against each others but rather ponder what makes up good music in general.

I'd say there's about a 68% chance that I have average taste.
