It always bummed me out that I missed out on C&C. I loooved early strategy games and when the RTS genre become popular I was immediately hooked with the original Warcraft, Age of Empires and so forth. I stuck with those franchises and, while I can't seem to remember others, I know I played a ton (such as Rise of Nations and Starcraft).
I'd heard of C&C, but by the time I got around to it the early titles felt dated (I've know doubt I would have loved them in their time) and the new ones just didn't really appeal to me.
I suppose I just preferred the look, music, atmosphere etc of the others more for whatever reason (probably because I played them first).
I might go back and try the early games these days, as I find I'm far more able to have fun with games than I was when I was younger... I suppose young people tend not to be too open minded lol
