I also guessed the Rolling Stones since they’re still active in the current world of pop music. 1/3 correct answers…
Pop music is way, way outside my wheelhouse. I guess if you paid attention to the Grammy’s this last year, this one might be pretty easy. I guessed the Rolling Stones
I don’t pay that much attention to the Grammy’s but the 6 years in a row told me who the group was. I’ll say TWO right.
@JP, I was a Stones fan back then, but the Stones were the antithesis of this group, kinda like outlaws vs. heroes
P.S. you forgot to predict!
Oh, thanks for the reminder! I’ll say 1/3.
