We can't force our opinions on you because this is the internet.

Johnny C:
First, though, you have to define good music and be able to define it outside of what you like.

When I started listening to good music, I became a better person. Would it be fair to say that if I believed another could experience similar benefits, my crusade for good music is just?

Substitute "serving Jesus" for "listening to good music" and you'd be a Christian.
IronOxide:
Your crusade for what you call (and i generally agree is) "good music" may not be as much on the basis of the quality of the music as the nature of the music. Coltrane allows for more interpretation than MCR. One can listen to one song by an artist like Coltrane and feel on top of the world, the next day the song can be filled with sorrow. With a manufactured de-pop band like MCR, you know exactly how they want you to feel. With other "better" artists, you are open to interpret emotion.
Let us take as an example the Beatles song "Revolution" (either one aside from #9). Depending on the listener, the song can either be a pessimistic depiction of the ills of society, or a message and appeal for the world to better itself with a general optimism for humanity.
