They're not mutually exclusive. I can recognise that someone has talent and ability and also not particularly like his style of music.
I mean, that solo in WMGGW in that video above. Holy shit, he can play. Now, you might not like the sound he makes, but that's separate from acknowledging the technical ability he clearly has.
well maybe he could play as series of notes in the right way for a minute or two, but it is musically interesting? I'm not sure
as for 'composer' it make me laugh that someone who composed shite like 'Little Red Corvette' can be in any way lauded for thier songwriting
and '1999' isn't really a song as such, just a fairly basic keyboard riff that's been produced up to the nines
and I'd rather die than listen to a dirge like 'Purple Rain'
while we're on the subject i find it fascinating that it's often an artist's worst song thast's lauded the most
for example 'Bridge over troubled water' is a turgid piece of crap and probably the worst song Paul Simon ever wrote (and yes i do have a LOT of Paul simon material even though - my god - he's popular and probably not very cool)

This is pretty much how I took over GW
And if this site was uranium rich, you can feel sure that you’d have been deposed and probably given the same fate as Salvador Allende
Anyone seen NQ?

Flying to France this evening.
Got an hour between the landing and the last bus to where Daddy™ is picking me up.
Tried to buy a ticket in advance to save time.
To do that, you need the app.
To get the app, you need to be in France.

Sacred blue!
Could you use a VPN?
The horse! Why didn’t you ride the horse!
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I did try that, but it seems Google are wise to it.
My girlfriend managed to buy one on the apple store without even having to pretend
Anyway, managed to elbow enough people out of the way in the passport queue to get there in time.
Turns out you just buy the tickets on board anyway
Allons-y!
