There's your trouble right there. Anyone can have a large music collection, and everyone has certain tastes in music they like. But not everyone has the capicity to appreciate the impact certain artists had on the world.
I'm not the greatest Beatles fan, I never bought their albums actually. None of their songs were ever "my all time favorite" or anything.... but I can certainly tell you about what a huge huge impact they made, and just how many bands and solo artists they have inspired over the decades.
You can listen to tunes all you want, but you either have the sense of appreciating the history of rock or you don't. I wasn't around in the 50's and am not an owner of a lot of 50's albums, but I can certainly imagine the incredible impact some of those tunes had.
Appreciate man. Use your imagination. Talk to people who were there.... get a feel of what it was like for kids at school in the weeks following the release of some of the Beatles albums, not to mention the day they first landed in N. America.
Then you might know.
