Yes for some people there is often a correlation between the technical aspect of music, and the subjecive quality, but that's a personal taste.

It was Resolute, not me, that brought up the hockey analogy.
Clearly some people are better at evaluating hockey players than others, thus we should give their opinions more weight. Likewise, there are people who have more informed and valuable opinions when evaluating the merits of art or music or films or food or anything else "subjective".
