I'd never heard of them until I was about 15/16.

Could've happened to me, too.
I am into rock music from the 60's yp till now, but I'm usually not all that interested in the people behind it. I don't have a clue what the name of the Singer of Blur is (something with almonds, I dunno) or the singer from Last Shadow Puppets. I like both bands, I just don't care.
I know who Jimmy Paige is because People told it to me over and over again. But I don't like Led Zep, so I don't really care. I haven't got a clue what the name of the drummer of the stones is and I always have to think really hard about the fourth (Ringo Starr) Beatle.
Nevertheless, I still think it's shocking that some people don't know what "Queen" is. But in the same way I thought it was pretty weird that yesterday I read about a 26 year old guy who watches quite a lot of TV who hadn't got a clue what Pokémon was. He must be a happy man.
