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 sharing with you as we dig deep into the music. Proud part of Pantheon - the podcast network for music lovers.

All You Need Is Love, A Candid Conversation With Author Steven Gaines
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. Gaines also shares many previously unknown details about his experiences interviewing Fabs. He also tells his own story in the midst of it (next book, Steve?). All are reasons for reading this book.
As Steven details his experience with Philadelphia, our hometown, his interaction with local TV icon Gene London comes into play. One of a ton of great tales about the writing of the book inside our interview!

Oldest Artists Still At It!!!
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 week's episode.
There are a few fun realizations along the way...

Intersection: Traffic & Blind Faith
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!

The Imbalanced Boys discuss his early days in the bands, leading up to Britny Fox, the days of the "Dirty Jersey" scene, and his recent marking of thirty years "in the seat" with Doro Pesch & more!

That Kid From Freehold - Bruce Springsteen - REDUX
When the Imbalanced Boys were 25 episodes into this podcast, they made the move to Pantheon! The occasion fell on the same day as Bruce Springsteen's 70th birthday, so it was a natural to feature his story.
In the 325 episodes since then, Markus & Ray have covered so many topics and artists, with many more to come! 350 down! 350 to go? Time will tell...

Customer Reviews
This is great informative music podcast
The guys do great job with the research and bringing it to us in an entertaining manner. Don’t always agree with there top fives. But I have found new old music through them so I say thanks
Another music history podcast ruined by regionalism
I’ve given this podcast around five years to start really digging into the history of rock ‘n’ roll but instead all these two guys do - and it’s not necessarily their fault - is talk about things only they know about, and people they know about bands from the northeast. There is no research; there’s nothing else going on and they should realize that there are no good music history podcast out there and they HAD a chance to become one… For every Monserrat episode, there’s about 20 “random guy from a band nobody’s ever heard of since 1965” interviews. #unsubscribe.
Great show
I got a late start with this podcast but have been steadily knocking them down and have finished off the first year (2019). I got a few chuckles at Marcus's subtle reference to Fletch in the 2019 Christmas episodes. I've learned quite a bit from these two and enjoy their takes on the music. Keep up the good work boys! I look forward to catching up to the latest episodes as I make my way through all the ones prior.
