Yeah, was the subject of my first high school music lesson. Where I learnt what 4/4 was.

4/4 being the good stuff.

Did we say "Detroit Rock City" yet? (OK, I just checked - no we didn't yet)

This goes definitely in the column "my mom would recognize" - she would at least say "isn't that KISS?", even if she didn't get the song title.

Maybe the same goes for "Aqualung"...
