I have been listening to Marcus and Ray’s podcast for three years. I really like this podcast for the variety of the shows (history, interviews, Top 5,…) , the research that they do, and most of all, their passion for rock and roll. It’s clear these two are old friends that go back along way. Their back and forth always seems so comfortable on the show. I hope to buy them a beer at the Crooked Eye Brewery someday. Keep it up fellas.
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 fro... more
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
Seriously? On the One Hit Wonders show they talk about the remake of Hooked on a Feeling and credit it to Blue Magic. Nope, Blue Swede. Couldn’t have fixed that in post? Worse that they did it in the first place.
The hosts of this show frequently get basic facts wrong. While i frequently find myself wanting to correct their mistakes I still find myself going back to this podcast. There are definitely better music history podcasts out there but this one will do
