I used to do that. Now my rule is simply: like what you like. Like what makes you feel good. Like what makes you think "damn, I like this." Who cares who sings it? Who cares who the drummer is? What does it matter if some corporate entity created it? If a song makes you feel good, you find your foot tapping... just admit you like the song.

Right now I'm listening to Otep. An hour ago I was listening to Miles Davis. In 10 minutes I'll probably listen to Jay-Z. Then maybe some Pantera. Then I might throw on some Nina Simone.
