Can't help you there -- I'm only 18.  (Well, 19 in a week).  Anyway, I 
think there's a fair number of people here, in the 18-21 age category, 
who've heard of the Who, even before my incessant rambing about 'em.  
One even said "That's the guy who wrote "My Wife"--I like his songs", 
when I mentioned John Entwistle.
