no, you dont have enough experience. when yr a teenager the songs are your experience vicariously, as you get older the songs reflect yr own experience, have more meaning, have become a fixture in yr life and are thus better. For example, I listen to a lot of roots reggae. Songs about biblical narratives and religious events are only really significant after you have experience and understanding of these things, so that when you first hear the songs, that are your exposure, but when you listen to them later, they are your memories and reflections [ie, when I hear "it was Elijah, who prayed that it did not rain" from Bunny Wailer, it did not mean as much to me when I was 17 then now when I have had much more experience and understanding of what the narrative of Elijah means to begin with]
