No and mine. I don't listen to music. No interest in the stuff, the fact that music causes such emotional responses in other people is one of life's great mysteries to me and the biggest sign that I'm either an alien or brain damaged (Oliver Sachs would tend towards putting me in the latter).

So when I've heard of a band, generally it is a sign that they've either hit upon major success or made some random crossover into parts of the universe that I actually care about.

That said, I'm sure there is music by a great many of them that if I heard I would know I had heard before, I just wouldn't have a clue who was making the music, just as I don't know the name of the author of most books I read.
