Golden Oldies, or Dusty Relics

Every age has its good artists. For the 20th century, the likes of Billie Holiday, The Ink Spots, Miles Davis, and anything with a nice jazzy feel. Classical music is called classical for a reason; especially with CDs and vinyls on the cheap, it's something everyone should listen to at least once in their life. Obviously, there are certain gems which still can and will dominate the music market and appeal. I believe that the Beatles will never die as a piece of art. The decision between a relic and a legend is mostly personal preferrance. Only a couple of my friends actually appreciate Billie Holiday. But I'm just so addicted to music that it'll keep me looking for new stuff while appreciating this generation's predecessors.

Even not counting classical stuff, this is definitely true. The golden era of blues was the 30s and I have been known to get my Robert Johnson on. I've also got a pretty respectable Glenn Miller collection (amongst other swing/jazz from the '30s and '40s). And with regards to the '50s and '60s, I am a massive Bo Diddley fan.
Age only dictates your music taste if you're a non-adventurous pop whore, really.

I was hoping that someone would mention Robert Johnson.

Like I said earlier, my apprehensiveness to become attached to old music is more psychological than simply my foreknowledge of the age of the album. I want to become attached to it, but can't always, and I know the only reason is its age.
While I agree with you that someone who looks down on old music should be looked down upon themselves, age still dictates me in a large way for other reasons.
