You weren't even alive for that album's release.

Not unless Holmes is a lot older than he looks. Paul's managed to make the adjustment to the majority of Taxon being 10-13 years from his future; the younger man's quick taking to the tablets suggests to Paul, at least, someone from 'the future' as he thinks of it.

And not that it really matters if Holmes is familiar with an album before was born either. Not like there's a law against that, ha, ha, ha.

The actual gist of Holmes's text doesn't occur to him-- Paul's observed that even when some people come from universes with mutants and vampires and superpowers, a lot of cultural touchstones like Beethoven and the Kinks have remained the same. The Ozzies are one of the major exceptions to that in his purview.
