What % of us can acutally play music...maybe 20% of us to any degree, and only 5% might be any good. Yet nearly everyone listens to music. So that probably explains why people who make Music hate the Nickelbacks and Linkin Park....yet they sell a lot of records and make heaps of money. Most of us suck at music and just have bad taste.

I tend to agree with you that most people have bad taste in music.
But that's ostly because the stuff i listen to is certainly not top 40 type stuff, so everyone other than me must have crappy taste.
However, I think it's kind of funny when people refer to music like this.
If I sell 40 million albums, I can pretty much guarantee that everyone is going to say that it's crappy music and that is why I sold so many albums.
Does this seem like a bit of a contradiction to anyone?
If a video game sells a million copies, it's gotta be awesome.
If a designer sells a million dresses, it must have been a good dress.
If a car company sells a million cars, it must be a good car.
But for some reason, as soon as you sell a lot of albums, it must be because it sucks.
Weird.
