There is probably some type of psychological notion to the human need that some have of wanting to experience it "all", whatever that might be. I'd think in general that people that are really into listening to music often have that trait.
That said, I think there is a difference in wanting to hear or experience the music and just wanting to have the hard copy of the thing. I'm sure most completest of vinyl record compilers often have swaths they might not heard (of yet) in there collection.
I often wonder in about those that have literally heard it all of some subset of music. I'm sure there are some absolute encyclopedic Dead fans.
Stuff I am curious about, how many people out there have say heard every Blue Note record? Had to be quite a few back in it's hey day perhaps.
