This #SummerVacay25 episode is a repeat of our dive into the world of Steely Dan! With a passion for their music and the times, one of the Imbalanced Brothers had more "prime exposure" to the band, but both of them show their understanding and love for this amazing band!

Sure, it's a story about Donald and Walter, but it's also a look inside the studio sessions, and more!

When Strawbs were releasing their album, The Magic Of It All, we heard from our friend Scott Bluebond, that David Cousins was talking about it! Given the chance to delve into their long, storied history, we quickly accepted.

It did so well that we re-released it last year. Sadly, we have reason to do so again.

This past we we lost the man. Such a sweet guy, and incredible, inspiring talent. Thank you, Dave! For everything; the music, but also for our visit, which we present with love for a man who felt the magic all his days!

The story of The Cure is a long tale, stretching back to the early/mid 1970s, which may surprise some people. Markus leads an early days exploration, as he and Ray weigh in on their personal intersections with the band.

As they discuss the music, the Imbalanced Boys also identify future sonic signatures, in early recordings, that led to their massive, and continuing, success!

There's focus on Robert Smith, the central, and sole continuous figure in the group, as part of the telling of the story.

We considered a shotgun 5 Favorites, but thought, maybe we can do that in our next episode about The Cure!

Ever since the guys heard about what is now, Becoming Led Zeppelin, they knew they wanted to "do their review" of whatever it was. Life gets busy, as the movie hit theaters briefly, then Imax, but when it hit Netflix, our intrepid, yet imbalanced boys set to enjoying it with great vigor!

They laughed knowingly at the known parts, and shared surprise or even shock over some reveals. It all turned out to be just perfect, personal expectations aside!

Check our Facebook page for pictures and links mentioned in the episode! Now, if you haven't, get yourself in front of a screen and watch Becoming Led Zeppelin. Those who want to know more about this band, should watch.

Fans, nay Ledheads...MUST!!!

A lot of things started at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival; the era of the multi-day festival, people finding ways to "survive" three days together for music's sake, and, maybe most importantly, it launched The Summer Of Love!

Growing beyond its initial scope, taking on its own life energy, to the chagrin of at least one of the originators! (Find out who!)

Markus and Ray work their way through the festival lineup, adding what they learned about the event, along the way.

To be singular in your field, a true original, a genre bender...

These are not aspirations, but these thing DO happen!

The manner in which Tool formed, evolved, and re-formed over decades of making amazing heavy music, is told in this episode. The music is explored and discussed, of course, but...this episode is two fans from the start, finally getting "it all out there" about one of their "lifetime membership" bands!

In the episode, the guys discuss the bar tour. Here's a link to that J.C. Dobbs show in Philly in May of 1992. Maybe you were there!

Tool: love 'em or don't! You'll know where Team Imbalanced stands after you listen!
