I have not read Last of the Mohicans or The Aeneid, so you are ahead of me in reading.
I don't think not liking some music is due to having a "weak faith", only it is not liking something contrary to the word of God. I loathe and despise rap music with every fiber of my being- it is not that if I listen to it, I will lose my faith. On the contrary, my faith is in Christ- who is so strong, nothing can take my soul from Him. Because I believe in Him, I don't want to listen to music that degrades humans for whom He died.
I do not know if this makes sense or not.

As for music oh I don't mean you're weak of faith if you have a differing taste. It's okay to have a critique of music. For example I like a rap music, I would even call Eminem the pre-eminent poet of the age. On the other hand I hate country music I find it bland and monotonous, and lil a bit gay. What I mean by the weak of faith is there's actually quite a lot of people that will flip out over just about any genre of music. The heavy metal music of the 70s and 80s and how people flipped lids is a pretty stark example in my opinion even though today most of that would be considered very tame, by some even lame. Elvis and his dancing is another one. For his day some of the people thought Presley's swaying would lead millions of young hearts astray, but for our day Elvis is pretty much the poster child of old fashioned ways. A deep irony in that the children thought rebellious for their boom boxes have become just like their parents.
