What a difference a few years makes. I'm 66 and know the references in 'The Importance of Being Earnest'.
I've heard of Steely Dan but I'm hanged if I know what he sounds like. Any relation to England Dan? Same for R & H. The answer is that my tiny mind doesn't process music at all well, such that I try and avoid listening to music. I can shut it out but it makes it really difficult trying to follw TV or film scripts where music is played over the words all the time.
Mrs H likens it to colour blindness, but with sound. I'm pretty good at tracing rattles and other noises in vehicles though.
