I don't remember the last time I did this. So it was jarring and a bit sad that, when I underwent my tradition of turning on the radio and making note of which songs were playing the minute of my birthday, I only was able to recognize three songs. One problem was that when I turned the car off, I was listening to The Current. So when I turned it back on, obviously, it was playing The Current, and even though I like most of the songs on there, I don't recognize most of the songs on there.
Then I flipped it to the jazz station, and forget it. I've grown older now, so my music preferences are jazz and new indie music -- neither of which is played enough and broadly enough for me to go, like, "Oh, that's Billie Eilish!" Compounding that is I did come across two songs that the kids like these days, and by golly, I don't recognize either of those songs, either. Another byproduct of old age: You lose connection to what The Youth Of America is into these days.
Nevertheless I found three songs I am at least slightly familiar with:

Nevertheless I found three songs I am at least slightly familiar with:
- On Love 105 (I tune into 105.7 because the other two frequencies don't come in as well): Irene Cara, "Flashdance ... What A Feeling"
- JACK FM (104.1): Boston, "More Than A Feeling"
- 93X (93.7): Blur, "Song 2"
