Replying to Old School... Please

I know this may be cheesy, but I'm actually a bit desperate. Growing up in the age where real music comes quite rare, I really want to love and appreciate musicians like Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, Run- DMC, etc. I want to so much to love artists and music like this, but I'm too used to the digitally enhanced bullshit playing today. Any suggestions on how to appreciate this music and breakaway from radio would be greatly respected. +k
