You should have seen the look of the faces of my young co-workers when they were talking about how great Led Zeppelin was and I said something like, "Yeah, I remember when their first album came out -- it sure changed the face of rock." I think they couldn't conceive of anybody they were having a conversation with having been alive back then, or of their boss knowing anything about rock music.

On the other hand, at a company party a couple of years ago, a couple of us started playing old Beatles songs. Everyone there, from the eight-year-old kids to the grannies, knew most of the words to most of the songs we played.
