I'm not sure this actually does what he wants it to do. Im assuming, he wants to hear only cultural music but...

I mean at 110 bpm they still get Wannabe by the Spice Girls and Dr Feelgood by Motley Crew, I'm a Slave 4 U by Britney, some Public Enemy and Daft Punk, and I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross.

At 80, they still get Gangstas Paradise by Coolio, some Matchbox 20, Radiohead, Judas Priest, and TLC...and Doin Time by Sublime, which is appropriate, I guess.

It's not like all pop music has one tempo...
