The Music List

The Music List Podcast takes a recipe for entertainment- a hotly debated musical topic, three siblings who love to argue, and open mics, and then tosses them into a mixing bowl. Shake up the bowl, and fireworks happen. The goal is to take a musical question such as greatest voice in a genre, best album during a decade, or best song by a group and create a master list to answer that question. The real battle begins when the siblings have to agree on the top five. Join Heather, Ben, and Beth, as they

Best Family Bands: Bands Build on Bloodlines

The Music List ·

2026/01/28

In this episode, the siblings tackle the Best Family Bands- acts build on bloodlines, not just talent. Though, genetics being what they are, talent, like apples, doesn't seem to fall far from the tree. Using The Music List's signature draft and debate format, we argue which bloodline ties that played together truly earned their legacy. The only rule? The musical act must have at least two members in it that are blood relatives. Mother and daughter, father and son, siblings, or even cousins. Shared

Few hall of fames seem to have the controversy as the Rock Hall. Every year, new inductees make music fans scratch their heads while those that are snubbed for another year make those same fans shake their fist.

Best TV Horror Theme Songs

2025/10/22

Over the decades, it's not only the movies that have frightened people out of their wits. Television has a long, storied history of keeping people awake at night as well. In fact, there is something routinely grotesque about awaiting your own terror-inducing sleep deprivation on a weekly basis. These frightening episodic programs can't lure you in with rainbows and unicorns. No, they set the stage with some of the eeriest, mood-setting music the entertainment industry has ever known.

Best British Rock Bands

While the United States is the undisputed birthplace of rock and roll, the Brits have put together a collection of some of the greatest bands in the history of popular music. In fact, if you made a Mount Rushmore of the greatest rock bands of all time and all four bands came from Great Britain, that argument would likely hold water. With legendary bands like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Queen, Deep Purple, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd....you get the picture...drafting only nine and then

While rock and roll tends to put an emphasis on the frontman (or frontwoman) of a band, it's important to note that bands are made up of multiple members. It's one of the defining characteristics of a band. And many bands have a distinct number 2- a member who has their own following, and their contributions to the group are undeniable and extraordinary. Sometimes, it's because of their virtuosic ability on their instrument. Others, it may be a natural charisma that people naturally gravitate

Cities in the United States do not have the longevity of influencing western and world music as their European counterpoints- Vienna, Berlin, and London certainly come to mind. However, the United States has come on as the world leader in music over the last century. Starting with ragtime, the United States became the primary innovator of modern popular music.
