It's a quick one if you know who the people are. Otherwise you need to think a little bit, or tweak the names a bit. If you don't do that, then it's hard.
I'm not a big classic rock fan, which made this harder for me. Now I know how the Aussies feel trying to solve puzzles featuring American Idol contestants from 2002 (alas, poor Ryan Starr ... we hardly knew ye).
[10][12] Granted, the others are from the early 60's, and that one is from the early 70's... but we're still talking about 35 years ago. I think it's safe to call them "classic". LOL
[36] Rare collectibles like artwork and furniture aren't considered "antique" until they are at least 50 or 100 years old... whereas more industrial items such as vehicles and tools are considered "antique" after 25 years.
So I guess it depends on whether you consider yourself a work of art... or a tool.

Ahhhhhh a google search won't help you for the final step unless you use the right nickname.

Are the colors of the text significant?

[3] That sounds to me like distinctly not easy :(
Edit : Ah, thanks, it wasn't that bad after all.

[10] I'm quoting the puzzle text on that "classic" thing ...

[11] Then I found another reason to dislike murdoctor.
I'm very amused by the almost imperceptible salt I left in [8], by the way.

For the record, I was complaining about how hard it was at 7:06 EST. I had it solved by 7:08 and finished 32nd.
How's that for pointless whining ... or should I say 78 point ... whining?

[10] Don't feel bad. Tonight I heard some early 90's music labeled as classic rock. That just can't be!!! :(

[16] I hate you and the station you listen to as well. Now I need to go to sleep because my bones are aching and it's past 10pm.

57th! Definitely had to Google this one! Pretty easy, though, if you pick up on the clue...

Plenty of hints in the puzzle. Very nicely done.
For some reason, I thought of "Airplane!"

Nice puzzle.
Re. "hopefully faded and blurred sufficiently to be completely unrecognizable. "
Well...not completely.

Well, my googling is getting me nowhere with three names.

[29] I can't explain, other than to say that if you nicknameify one of the names (the most obvious), then it pops right up on Google.

[35] That makes me a classic too. How old before you come antique?

[36] Rare collectibles like artwork and furniture aren't considered "antique" until they are at least 50 or 100 years old... whereas more industrial items such as vehicles and tools are considered "antique" after 25 years.
So I guess it depends on whether you consider yourself a work of art... or a tool.
