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

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

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!!!

2024/03/18

The Imbalanced History started, as many podcasts do, with a trailer in March 2019. 10 days later, Markus and Ray released their first actual episode, A Case For The Beatles. As the podcast evolved, and began musical illustration of episodes, they went back and "re-imagined" this fun ep. Now remastered for its 5th anniversary since release. Here's the original intro:"Since joining Pantheon, we have noticed a large number of people downloading A Case For The Beatles, which was our second episode,

Game Changers: Van Halen I!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

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.

5 Favorites: American Women Singers Of The 1970s

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2024/02/19

The 1970s was an extremely fertile time for music, in general, but especially for all flavors of Rock. Much as here in the 21st century, the influence of women on music of all genres was over-the-top. That impact was felt, maybe most of all, by Rock music. In previous decades, much of the music being made by women was written for them, fabricated in Pop music factories, but in the '70s that changed! This week, Markus and Ray dig back to that era of cool hairdos, bell bottoms and artificial fabrics

2024/02/12

David Cross discusses his time inside and out of King Crimson, including his various solo outings and some Crimson-adjacent projects! Starting with the highly-influential Larks' Tongues In Aspic, he was part of the band in the mid-'70s, before finding his way to the long solo road, that he has been riding since. The conversation is informative, and funnier than the Boys expected! Enjoy some time with another part of the King Crimson legacy on this week's episode. Thanks to Scott Bluebond for

Albums Turning 50 in 2024!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2024/02/05

This episode starts with a grunge.com article about albums released in '74, and turning 50, but The Imbalanced Boys realized there was much more to 1974 than the writer covered. How can you fail to include Rock n' Roll Animal by Lou Reed, as an example. So, Markus and Ray dive into that rabbit hole in the second half of this week's podcast. Starting with Joni Mitchell's Court And Spark, and rolling through the year, and capping things with a special release by a RRHOF group, who changed the sonic

Billboard's Chart Run Champions

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2024/01/29

We looked into an article on Louder Sound that talked about the longest runs on the Billboard album chart. That chart started as a Top 10 in the 1950s, expanding through to 1967 when it became the Billboard 200! That's name most of us know. This adventure just might include the most artists not previously profiled in one of our episodes: Lana Del Rey, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars and Adele. Add chart champs of the '50s (Johnny Mathis, My Fair Lady OST), and this is a different musical journey

Drums & Demons with author Joel Selvin

2024/01/22

Jim Gordon was a kid who loved to play drums. Where would that love take him? Basically, everywhere! His inventive, musical percussion style created an incredible demand for his services. Having Jim on drums could change the fate of a recording project, and often did! The success and impact of Gordon's playing was legendary, long before the June 1983 murder of his mother, Osa. The voices "won" following a long, arduous struggle with his mental health. The voices in Jim's head led to a series of

Episode Of The Year: The Story Of Fleetwood Mac

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

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
