I am 36, and I would bet if you polled 100 people my age, maybe 10% of the people would have ever heard of them. If you were to walk into a Starbucks however, and ask 100 20 something hipsters wearing skinny jeans, playing farmville on their Macbook pro's, whilst wearing their non prescription big framed glasses, and oh so ironic truckers hats, youu'd probably go 9/10.

Fairly well acclaimed
within a genre, what ever that genre is. I am not for one second pissed off they played the game. Never said that anywhere. I just didn't like what I saw or heard. Willie Nelson could have played, and I would not like that either because I don't like country even though he is very well acclaimed, but I wouldn't be pissed off. Just as I didn't like it, there was some people that did.
Had Iron Maiden came out, and busted off Rime of The Ancient Mariner, Sign of the Cross, and Children of the Damned, I may have very well imploded in a giant musicgasm. While half of the stadium would have thought that sucked balls. You cannot please everyone.
However, at the end of the day.
I WAS THERE TO WATCH A HOCKEY GAME, NOT LISTEN TO A BAND.
