  • 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.

  • A must recommend

    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.
