I may not have listened to all their albums or know about all the greats, but I do know older music.
Elvis because of my grandmother, ABBA because of my other grandmother. Madonna because of my mom and sister. I've known about them all my life and had their music surrounding me all the time, Madonna probably the longest.
And then as I got older there was a little Rod Stewart, The Beatles, KISS, Queen, Cher, Tina Turner, Barbra Streisand, Celiné, Whitney, Mariah, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Lionel Richie, Diana Ross, The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, George Michael, Prince and Janet... The list really goes on.
So yes, I know older music but I won't say I've listened to all of it or even like most of it.
edit: My favorites in that list today are ABBA, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Tina Turner, Cher, Stevie Wonder, Celine, Whitney, KISS, Queen and Elvis. I LOVE them and know most of their catalogues. I guess the music you're fed with growing up really plays a big role.
