Born: August 25, 1951! The Imbalanced Brothers discuss the arrival of two players in Rock history on the same day: August 25, 1951, making them Birthday Twins! Judas Priest singer Rob Halford (aka The Metal God), born in the UK, and keyboard wizard Bob Mayo (aka “Mr. Bob Mayo, Bob Mayo please,”) born in New York City, each took different paths along their way to Rock & Roll! But they started on the same day, an ocean apart! Halford breaks out as lead singer in a groundbreaking Metal band, while Mayo “comes alive” in Peter Frampton’s band. Two different figures sharing the same date of origin. A bit sad to remember because of Bob’s passing , too young, in 2004. Let’s rock with Rob and Bob! #BornIn51!

All About An Incredibly Fruitful Year As The 1970’s Roar Into High Gear! The only task more daunting in recent memory than this week’s expedition to 1972, is LAST year’s trip back to 1971, and that year’s massive release of music! Some of the names are the same, but many are new, or renewed. More bands, still bound to the old school record label release schedules, make two appearances in ’72. Other years would continue to make major impact, but 1971/1972 back-to-back? Tough to top! So, strap into The Imbalanced Time Machine, and let’s go!!!

The Stones Turn The Corner From the ’60s To The ’70s! Coming out of 1967, The Rolling Stones were about to turn the corner on their career and become the band they were meant to be. Their next three albums: Beggar’s Banquet, Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers saw their evolution hit overdrive, marked the band’s departure from Decca/London Records, and sparked their long-time association with Atlantic Records via their own Rolling Stones Records label! This is also the part of their journey where founding member Brian Jones departs, and then dies suddenly. This episode delves into that chapter, and shows the band emerging on the other side. Rarely does a band, already established, rip off a series of three albums this good, in the middle of their career. Enjoy the ride!
