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

Too Much Too Young: The 2-Tone Records Story

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2024/06/24

Before our July Summer vacation, a really great talk with author Daniel Rachel (Like Some Forgotten Dream, Don't Look Back In Anger, Walls Come Tumbling Down) to discuss his latest book, Too Much Too Young: The 2-Tone Records Story!The music of Ska was the next big thing in London, and in Coventry, where many of the bands percolated in a vacuum. They were less effected by outside trends, and created their own thing. It's about the way Ska music, back to the early artists of Jamaica, makes you feel

Rod The Mod: Sir Roderick Stewart!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2024/06/17

From his family roots to his dual career paths, taken simultaneously, Markus and Ray take the ride with you, musically, and historically! From London to L.A., we talk about his musical life, and all the twists and turns it took. Due to the risk of a 2+ hourlong episode, much of Rod Stewart's personal story is pretty much left out. So, it's football and booze, and The Faces, and an amazing solo career that recently marked 55 years! Add your two cents for a follow-up episode by emailing us:

All You Need Is Love, A Candid Conversation With...

2024/06/10

Sometimes when you do interviews, the discussion expands beyond the movie or book the subject came to promote. That's what happened when Markus & Ray talked with author Steven Gaines. But Gaines isn't just any Rock author, having been Alice Cooper's biographer & regular golf partner, writing books and penning columns, and interviewing all of The Beatles for his book, The Love You Make.All You Need Is Love, his new book, builds a POV telling of the tale, introducing new information and perspective

Oldest Artists Still At It!!!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2024/06/03

Someone had the idea to start a meme, in tribute if you will, to the elders. All genres, all artists, all that matters! Healthy discussions (lookin' at you, Facebook friends!) are a good thing, but try to be kind! What's cool is the variety of amazing artists, well past full retirement age, who've decided that playing on the back porch is "for old folks!" So they go on: recording albums, playing live tours, recording albums of live tours, and more! Soooo, The Imbalanced Boys SALUTE them all in this

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2024/05/20

When Markus told Ray about his love of Traffic, it sparked a conversation that spills into this episode. Proving we all have our own path, Markus notes When The Eagle Flies as his favorite, while Ray prefers Low Spark... That led to discussion of Blind Faith, a 1969 side project, which the Boys discuss as well.It's a different-angle perspective and an exploration of an amazing musical trek that draws in a number interesting characters beyond the core characters!

2024/05/06

When the Imbalanced Boys were 25 episodes into this podcast, they made the move to Pantheon!

Suzi Ronson Talks About Bowie, Ronno, Lou Reed & More!

2024/03/25

Often in studying Rock & Roll History, we find various points of view on the same subject, or event. It's the nature of things. But given a chance to talk with someone "who was there" is always great for the Imbalanced Boys.Suzi Ronson's friendship with Angie Bowie, and her entry into David's universe is part of the story, but with her attention to detail, she paints, more than tells, the tales included in this must-read book!!!

Game Changers: Van Halen I!

2024/03/04

Game Changers, in the eyes of the Imbalanced Brothers, are the albums, people, events, and things that changed the game, the music business, or how we view the whole damn thing!Nothing happens in a vacuum, and the rise and trajectory of Van Halen is no different. They had great managers, and label people guiding them on their way, and a major early supporter in Gene Simmons! Friends and family, and especially fans, showed them that their loud, boisterous music, and Dave's outlandish antics, were

No joke! The Imbalanced History podcast has evolved and grown in the last 300 or so episodes since we originally released this week's episode on June 11, 2019!It's been "enhanced" and expanded in some spots from the original release. We all felt that Zeppelin deserved the effort. Hope we succeeded, and that you like it half as much as you seem to have enjoyed Led Zeppelin: Descended From The Gods! That's why we're adding, enhancing, expanding, and why it's our choice for the final episode of Year
