You can roughly guess the age of the poster based on the records he chose. Nearly all of mine were issued between 1966 and 1968, and none later. So I'm older than most of you.

a pattern of classic rock band will generally age someone at over 50. Hair bands, or thrash metal, around or over 40(some may default to classic rock though). Grunge/Alternative, around or over 30. If someone has a good mix of hard-rock and rap, around or over 20. Now if anyone mentions Justin Bieber, it's a safe assumption that they are a 14 year old girl.

I'm 36 but mine is about 50/50 between stuff released before I was born and stuff that came out during my "prime". But, I do see how your theory works most of the time

I am 29 so it is pretty much spot on for me.

Although my love for 60's music as well comes directly from my dad...

Yeah, the Classic rock is in everyone's blood from our parents. Plus, it was kinda trendy in the mid to late 90's. It was the AIC and tool that gave you away though Beatle's Guy.

Anyways, according to that theory. Staate had a pretty good variety in his list, but at the heart of it, I'd guess he was around or a few years over 30. Tiger's probably in his early-mid 20's, and Griffin's is probably around 50ish. Judson may be around or early 40's. Am I incorrect about anyone yet?

We really should get this back to the original purpose of the thread though.
