  • Still Awesome

    5 stars, 10/10, perfect

    I’ll support anything Knost does although I can’t support financially. This is a fun little twist on another well known music trivia game. Andy is amazing on the keys and his voice is great as well!

    I like the lifelines they’ve added to round 3, but I wish they would’ve called the “double down” “double time” instead to keep with the musics theme.

    Play along and see if you can guess the music to the movie. Good for walks, drives, and relaxing at home.

  • Love the show!

    I have been listening to Matt Knost since his first episode on the top 10 show. His humor as a host is spot on and I really enjoy his banter with the guests and Andy. Settle the score is a lot of fun to listen too and Andy is a special talent playing/singing anything and everything. I look forward to the show every week.
