Good Music Bad Quotes

This collection holds 16 good music bad quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are Bruce Springsteen, Michael Ball and David Geffen.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.

Use the grid and list views to change how much of each quote you see, follow an author's name to read everything else they said, or open a quote on its own page to copy it, share it, or turn it into a picture quote.

Bruce Springsteen / Musician

I was real good at music and real bad at everything else.

Michael Ball

Music is music and there are only two types: good and bad.

David Geffen / Producer

It's easy in music to tell what's good. It's hard to tell what's bad.

There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind.

Marty Stuart / Singer-Songwriter

When country music is doing its job, it reports on the good, bad and indifferent of our human condition.

Ben Lovett

A lot of bad music sells a million copies; I don't think it's a good litmus test for whether things are going well.

Peter Warlock / Composer

Music is neither old nor modern: it is either good or bad music, and the date at which it was written has no significance whatever.

Andy Mineo / Hip-Hop Artist

I really think there are two genres of music: good music and bad music. And I'm just trying to be on the side of making good music.

Howard Gardner / Psychologist

If I know you're very good in music, I can predict with just about zero accuracy whether you're going to be good or bad in other things.

Perfume Genius / Musical Artist

I wanna be bad sometimes - I wanna rip everything apart, -but it comes on less and less. Doing all this music stuff is very good for it.

Elliott Carter / Composer

That was one of the big problems when I was at Harvard studying music. We had to write choral pieces in the style of Brahms or Mendelssohn, which was distressing because in the end you realized how good Brahms is, and how bad you are.

Ruggiero Ricci / Violinist

A good interpreter can take a piece of bad music and make it sound pretty decent, while a bad interpreter can take good music and make it sound cheap. I can tell that some people have a bad taste, and unlike on the piano, they smear around a lot, that is bad taste.
