Art may be subjective to an extent but we can still ascribe levels of perfection to it.

I do not agree that art is subjective to an extent, I believe art just IS subjective whatsoever. Levels of perfection can be given according to certain techniques that have been used or maybe to a level of difficulty that is reached, or even to the value of a work af art (but then I mean simply the price of the piece).
But saying that Mozart IS a greater composer than Webber, no, you simply can't, that is no fact. It is your opinion and that's fine (I also like Mozart better), but it's impossible to measure.
A little more on topic, I've already mentioned the fact that LOTR is Belgium's favourite book, but what does that mean? That it's the best? Impossible to say! I think people are very much influenced by the popularity of the movies and therefor more likely to vote for the LOTR book in polls like that.
