I don't know the names of the people in most bands I listen to, but have you honestly never heard of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest? I'll give you that Mercyful Fate is a little obscure. (I suppose I should also ask how old you are, given that you label Ozzy as "a guy with a reality TV show".)

I was familiar with the names of the bands but not with their music. IO sent me MP3s with no identifying information. I had no idea who I was listening to. I'm old enough to have listened to Ozzy when "War Pigs" was released…I just never happened to. Who knows what different direction my life would have taken if I had! http://www.claudiafriedlander.com/the-liberated-voice/2010/0...

If you had said "Heavy metal band, comic book superhero, or TV show" for those three bands I think I might have gotten Iron Maiden right, but if this were Who Wants To Be A Millionaire I'd be asking the audience anyhow.
