Wait a minute--how can anyone be wrong about what they like? Like any great composer Bach offers more than just a single attribute, and I think that all three comments here are very perceptive. When people make blanket statements to the effect that "all atonal music is crap" I remind them that they disqualify the 40th symphony of Mozart (the bit right ofter the double bar in the finale) and the entrance of Glenda the good witch in "The Wizard of Oz." And Bach's "Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue"? I'd say it pushes a limit or two.
