Being a bit older than myself, and a few others here, you have a slightly different perspective than I/we do, that being that you experienced some of the music and the times that I/we were a little young for. I noticed that when you were talking about the Beatles too. I remember some of the old Beatles on the radio (Hard Days Night etc), but was too young to be aware of when they first came to America and Beatle mania first hit. Same with Dylan - was too young to be caught up in the folk and beat poet kind of thing as it was happening. Obviously I'm aware of all these things, and am old enough that the times aren't too much off from my direct experience, but I enjoy getting the perspective of people that have clear memories of those times and the impact of those artists in their earliest years.
