My informal theory is that everyone&#x27;s favorite music is what they were listening to when they were in high school.  I&#x27;d guess that&#x27;s a less well-specified version of your idea, but I think including musicians&#x2F;bands would improve your results.  The point someone else made about having access to all of prior history is valid though; my George Tirebiter reference came from listening to &#x27;Don&#x27;t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers&#x27; by The Firesign Theater, which is a decade or so older than I&#x27;d be expected to know if you just knew my age.
