I got 30. This lineup is fricked though I am fairly chronically online and I do not recognize some of the acts on even the second row

That's incredible.

Now, I know the criteria is that you have heard of the band names somehow, but could you say you know a single song?

51 if that is the criteria. I do a lot more following the industry and drama of music than actually listening to it though :marseyautism#:

Dude take the 30. I'm 55 because I THINK I saw some of those here but don't know their music. At least a definite 57.

I still think Mountain "Mississippi Queen" is the tits.

I am around the age that I was assigned by the system you presented, but a few of those artists (2hollis, Snow Strippers, Benson Boone, Yeat) are almost exclusively listened to by people who are way younger than even I am. Like teenager-young.

Also this whole thing reminds me I called Pink Floyd "boomer tunes" and Led Zeppelin "butt rock" when I was talking to my dad the other day and he got so offended I thought he was going to cry

To be clear and precise:

Led Zeppelin is late 60s/early 70s hard rock

Butt Rock is glam metal like Kiss, Twisted Sister, Ratt, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, etc.

Some bands in that era were orbital but didn't fall into the glam trend, like Aerosmith or Guns 'n' Roses. They got close but remained in the blues-rock periphery.

AC/DC solidly stayed in the "be shits and rock" universe.

Pink Floyd is solidly entrenched in the Progressive Rock asteroid belt -- overly produced, needlessly complex, and not fun anymore, which is where you see the pink stuff come on its heels.

Motor City 5 wrote "kick out the jams" to literally kick out the people playing long, extended jam sessions.
