A meta-musical question

[womzilla]

In a discussion at last night's gaming session, one of my friends said, "Everyone likes music. There's no music that *everyone* likes, but everyone likes *some* music."

And I scoured my brains for a prominent, or even minor, counterexample and couldn't come up with one. supergee suggested President Ulysses S. Grant, who was quoted as saying "I only know two tunes; one is 'Yankee Doodle' and the other isn't." The UK version has Sir William S. Gilbert (of "and Sullivan") saying the same of "God Save the Queen".

So, how about it? Do you know anyone who simply doesn't like music? Are you such a person?

I have one friend who is both severely tone-deaf (he literally can't tell which note is higher when they're an octave apart) and red-green colorblind, but he still LIKES music; it's just that his choices of what music to purchase (the Germs, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Kiss) are kind of, uh, odd.

Especially when considered together.
