  • Funny and cool group of guys

    I’ve really grown to like this show. As a black listener, I don’t always enjoy music shows with only white hosts because it can be an unpleasant reminder of how segregated music was really until Thriller. But these guys have found creative ways in recent years to talk about more than just “rock” music as traditionally defined. Also, the friendships among them seem so genuine that it’s a place where I want to just hang out, if only in my imagination.

    I used to really enjoy this podcast, and the accompanying banter that went along with it on the Facebook page.

    I’m not sure what I said that raised their ire, but they actually blocked me from their page.

    I made a lot of jabs at Cheryl Crow, Bryan Adams and Def Leppard; I guess them is fightin’ words in the Rock Solid camp.

    The show used to be pretty funny with some of the co-hosts, but it has become unlistenable in the last few years.

    Pat Francis hosts a variety of guests that hilariously discuss, mostly rock, with a humorous….spin on tunes from yesterday and today. Even music discussed that I don’t necessarily like. I enjoy listening regardless. Rock on!!

    He forgot Pulp. He didn’t mention Suede. Where’s Sleeper? What about James? Where is James in this? Why did he not talk about how Coldplay continued with Brit Pop?
