I really liked his cover of ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’.

Wait, different Floyd I think.

I looked this up and listened to at least a bit of most of them. I knew one song. To further demonstrate my dearth of classic rock knowledge, I actually looked up Led Zeppelin by mistake because I'm not really sure I know the difference between the two. I knew 4 of their songs. I think this is incredibly weird for a person in his late 40s. But I am almost completely unaware of either of them.
Yes, a bit odd, but some of it is influenced by where you were at the time of your more formative years,. I went to a nearly all-white suburban high school in Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ. We had one school assembly that featured an early speed metal band. For most of us, other forms of music didn't exist.
I have the perfect cure.
Before the COVID lockdown, drummer Nick Mason toured with a band (The Saucerful of Secrets) and you can find their “Live At the Roundhouse” on streaming services. They only play songs from the pre-Dark Side of the Moon catalogue. SonPK and I saw them in Atlanta — a really fun band and show. These guys really breathe new life into an overlooked but rich body of music. I highly recommend.

This really was the most fun I have had at a concert in years. And I have seen a ton of live shows.
My musical preferences are classic country from circa 1970 (outlaw era) through the mid to late 90s (when George Strait achieved his unparalleled status as the goat) right before Garth and his unconscionable Chris Gaines dalliance which I see as sounding the death knell of traditional country and ushering in the pop-country crapulence on display today. Also a HUGE fan of late 80s to mid 1990s rap, especially the gangster rap era. More West Coast than East Coast. In short, Clemmonsdevil is a study in contrasts.
One of my favorites that most likely don’t know, for example:

(Okay, I’ll stop — I was really jazzed by this unexpected joy of a thing. Look forward to their next tour of the States, hopefully in 2022).
