I'm confused. I think Kieffer is right? I've never figured out how music was a sticking point in friendships and relationships, if you don't have music in common there are plenty of other things to talk about. I can't say I've ever met anyone who judges a person's character entirely on their musical tastes, and I'm pretty sure that if such a person did exist they'd be an asshole who complains a lot about being lonely.
Ernest:
I usually handle the music talk much like how Tommy described he does, or sometimes I mention a few names, and then when I get the blank looks or inquisitive stares, I usually move onto something else. It really depends on who I'm with. Sometimes I'll say something kid of edgy but easy to argue, like "Guns N Roses are pretty terrible." I usually can argue that one without people really getting on my case. If I'm really starved to talk about music with someone, I'll start with some popular music that I actually to enjoy at least a little, like Pink Floyd or Radiohead. Then I'll test them and see what they know with some slightly more obscure bands. Basically Kieffer's strategy.

P.S. You've muddled objective and subjective judgments here. I can separate liking a record from thinking it's good or bad. A lot of people can too. I mean, shit, son. Metacritic.
