What we get here are a lot of posts that criticize songs because the person posting doesn't personally like the song from a stylistic standpoint. While everyone's individual take is legitimate, and sometimes interesting, it often obscures any objective meaning to the question of what makes a song good

There is no "objective meaning to the question what makes a song good." The question, like most questions not seeking a mathematical answer, is an opinion-seeking one, and there are no objective opinions. (Least of all the opinions of those who think their own opinions are objective.) There are well-informed opinions and not-so-well informed ones, but there are no "objective" ones.
