The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

This is a podcast that was created to discuss the humongous tree of music known as Rock and Roll. There are thousands of branches. There is so much information out there with even more to be learned. Together, we are going to have fun talking about our passion, the Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll. Between Ray and Markus, we have 50+ years of rock and roll radio experience and a thirst to know more! With your input we want to begin to balance the imbalanced. We look forward to connecting and

The Hangover Effect

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2024/01/01

As you'll find out in this week's episode, 2023 has been quite a year for the Rock 'n Roll world, the arts, and for The Imbalanced Brothers! The guys talk about their year in episodes, marking a number of special guests along the way. They dig into the email bin at imbalancedhistory@gmail.com for listener interactions, opinions and ideas from you! That includes this article on The Jaggerz that listener friend Linda Neuman sent to us! The loss of figures in music, art and culture, in general, this

Episode Of The Year: The Story Of Fleetwood Mac

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/12/26

Almost every user gets a Spotify wrap-up for the year. Markus & Ray were already leaning towards this episode, originally released on February 6th. Then the year-end wrap-up hit the inbox, and it was a done deal. Funny thing is, The Imbalanced Boys both loved that ep, and were surprised to see it react so well immediately, despite the continued popularity of the band. Coming just months after the passing of The Songbird, Christine McVie may have boosted listens, but really, the Mac just never seems

Back To The Volcano: Under The Volcano REDUX

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/12/11

Actually, it's that rare occasion when a planned episode doesn't work out, and you have to make a move! We remembered how much fun it was making the May 2022 episode about the film, Under The Volcano, which is awesome if you have not seen it. Later we'd do a follow-up episode, interviewing an interesting guy who wrote a book on the studio. More on that later! So, here we are flashing back to our 3rd year, as we close in on our 5th anniversary, March 1, 2024! Word soon on our plans to have a

King Crimson At 50 With Toby Amies

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/12/04

Toby Amies is an instinctive documentarian who has created an amazing modern telling of the last half century in the lives of a band whose 19 members created a legacy that is unique in Rock history. Steady at the helm of King Crimson through the decades and all of the changes is Robert Fripp. The role of each player in the current is explored, as well conversations with former members, the survivors in this decades-long journey to find "it." "It" being the essence of the art created. The real life

2023/11/20

We're havin' a Christmas party this week on the Imbalanced History channel! Our guest is producer Jim Salamone, who's done so much more than run his Cambridge Studios. One of his great adventures involves working with, and later making a holiday album with, the late Teddy Pendergrass. Jim talks about his own amazing path as a musician, writer, studio innovator, producer, studio owner and more! He tells the boys how he came to meet and collaborate with Pendergrass, leading to the chance to work as

5 Favorites: UK Rock Singers Of The 1970s!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/11/13

Generally speaking, when Markus & Ray do an episode of 5 Favorites the narrower the category, the easier it is for them to match answers. (Unlike some recent 5 Fave episodes!) It's one silly part of the game when the Imbalanced Boys take the "road to Vegas!" As is often the case, the guy's Honorable Mentions are lengthy here. Digging into the timeframe of the '70s, and narrowing the parameters to the UK Rock singers should, in theory, cause the lads to concur more often. Can you guess who they have

Stoner Rock: A History

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/11/06

We all know the groove, well, if you've ever heard/felt that groove... Big, phat and raging... There are so many elements that go into feeling, much less defining, Stoner Rock. It's one of those things that you might not be able to tightly define the parameters of, but when you hear it, you know it. And so this brings our Imbalanced hosts around to a discussion, looking back at the roots of what became the roar, the role of various bands in the evolution, around to what now feels like another part

Don't get your knickers in a twist, this is no "ultimate list" of anything, just Markus and Ray celebrating the bands that make the scary sounds that make our hair stand up, and make our ears take notice. It's a judgment free zone this time of year, it's all just spooky fun and an excuse to get candy!

5 Favorites: All-Time Rock Guitarists

2023/10/23

The great thing about any episode of 5 Favorites is that there are no wrong answers! Markus and Ray both have a well-established love of all things guitar and Rock, so the potential at the outset is there for a real Imbalanced conflict! All the eras, all the players...so many to chose from! The one, sure thing is that there will be ROCK! Our money is on a draw, and a long, long pair of honorable mention lists. You should weigh in, too! On social media, and via email (imbalancedhistory@gmail.com) -

I Hear Dead People

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/10/16

Can anyone help us identify ALL of the members of this increasingly infamous I Hear Dead People illustration. The original, and the basis for this episode's discussion, is from a flickr post, entitled, "Eu ouco gente morta...o tempo todo!" Since then, we have seen it in other posts, including in English labelled as "I hear dead people, and they're still the best!" But that use of the illustration is trimmed, with a few people knocked out of the frame. So we stuck with the best version, even after

Denny Laine Needs Our Help: Songs & Stories - REDUX

Earlier this year, we had Denny Laine (Moody Blues, Wings) on the podcast, as our guest, before he embarked on his Songs & Stories Tour. In recent days we have seen messages like this on his page: "He had a setback this morning and was sent to the emergency room for tests for an infection, pneumonia. Denny is strong and is fighting every day and working hard to return home after his rehabilitation, where he will continue to rebuild his strength and health with home health care. I ask for your

The Animals: A Foundation Stone Of The British Invasion

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/10/02

The city of Newcastle Upon Tyne has through the last sixty years presented its musical face to the world. Among the groups to draw early attention to the place was The Animals. Raw, and full of powerful, dark energy, this band re-invented so many songs for young ears. From "The House Of The Rising Sun" through their initial run, they were among those young musicians fueling this thing called The British Invasion! In this episode, the Imbalanced Boys discuss those early days, the changes the band

5 Favorites: One-Hit Wonders Of The 1970s

2023/09/25

The era leading to the '70s music explosion, set the stage for what came next! Top 40 singles by artists you barely knew, exploding out of your radio, and getting wedged in your brain! Catchy, quirky, sometimes downright annoying, these songs were huge for the artists and producers who recorded them! Also, they were pretty large for the kids consuming all of those records, by artists never to be heard from again. The Imbalanced Boys have a number of those records, mainly 45s, in their

There's so much to the history of Rush, and in this new episode, the Imbalanced Brothers talk about each of their paths to becoming fans.

The Devolution Of Devo

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/09/11

Not one, but two sets of brothers formed a band in Ohio! That should have been the world's first warning that the plot to de-evolve EVERYTHING was hatching right there in Akron. In the pocket with Punk, era-wise, but markedly different from, well...everybody else, their mission required shunning norms! That was likely the case long before they donned their classic Devo yellow jumpsuits and plastic energy domes! Strange, sure! Quirky? They innovated a few of their own! Recently, finally announcing
