I find it hard to believe that anyone thinks that looks good in any way.

This is a tough question.

Aubrey Hodges is an objectively better composer and a musician, but his music generally boils down to "strange sounds and babies crying".
It's a fantastic score that accentuates the mood of the despair and gloom perfectly, but only works in the context of Doom 64/Doom PSX. In the normal Doom, it wouldn't work at all, and since Doom is (mostly) about running and gunning action...
Well, it's a niche.

On the other hand, Bobby Prince is a very boring composer who doesn't focus a lot on melodies. His music in Wrack is bad, his music in Wolfenstein is eehhh at best. His best work is Doom, no questions asked, but the music only came out so good because it was taking off good 90s music that was already so good.
That being said, it fits Doom. It fits to a T. Doom's music isn't always about upbeat action, as Sign of Evil and Nobody Told Me About Id testify to, but every single song really nicks that demon-killing tone and accentuates it.

Bobby might not have any actual musical talent, but ultimately the role of a song is to accentuate the action going on and to immerse the player into the scenario.
Aubrey's the better musician and his music may be better, period, but Bobby's music is better for Doom.
