Lets be fair, most people who claim to have a favourite band know very little about them. I heard a passing conversation about someone who's favourite group was Led Zeppelin, it went somewhat like this:

"I like totally love led zeppelin, stairway to heaven is soooo coool, I wonder when they're going to release the next album, I know it's only been a few weeks since their last one, but it was really cool and fresh and new."

While I admire their love for decent music, they somewhat dropped the ball in identifying what time period LZ came from.

I know people who call themselves prog rock fans who have never heard of King Crimson, and people who "love" Folk who have never heard Bob Dylan, but everyone knows the beatles, and that recognition I feel is very undeserving.
