Cultural forgetting is a real thing, but I'd want a survey of more than one person before declaring that 20-year-olds don't recognize "Imagine." That song gets played, in context, a whole lot. As it is, it sounds a lot like the 1980s joke, "Did you know that Paul McCartney was in another band before Wings?"
