You're kidding right? Why listen to bad music no matter how good it sounds? Of course everyone's definition of "bad" is different, but I buy discs for the music on them, good or great sound is a bonus.
Of the two, I would take "good music/poor recording" over "bad music/excellent recording", any day of the week. Quite often a great performance will override a less that stellar recording of that music. Of course, like all of us, I would prefer "good music/excellent recording", but sometimes it's hard to get that combination, but when you do........... :-).
Yes, bad music is unacceptable even if it is sonically amazing. It reminds me of a story I once heard about the most sorry-assed audiophile who loved an LP of train sounds. He said it was a great recording. I bet it was. An idiot. I hope he was happy and was nice to his kids.
