“I’m generally too lazy to write reviews, but in this case i feel it’s worth the small effort to support this thoughtful, deeply informative podcast. This well researched chronicle, along with its honest and compassionate commentary, has brought me and many friends such needed clarity, connected so many dots, and dispelled a walk-in closet full of myths about a subject that I’ve spend most of my life geeking out over. For anyone who has been touched by the glorious hand of rock, with all its diverse and checkered origins, its often dark and tragic back stories and beautiful triumphs, Andrew Hickey delivers a consistent treasure trove. The fact that he is also a musician gives him a steady hand when offering some technical insight as to how certain innovations came about and why they stand out as pivotal. Hickey doesn’t outwardly glorify people, (though you can tell he’s a fan), nor does he vilify this history’s uncool players, but he doesn’t tend to offer any passes on bad behavior, and he’s careful to warn you about potentially uncomfortable topics. It’s all truly great stuff and I dread the day when it’s completed. Listen up, y’all. You won’t regret it.”

“... doesn’t even begin to describe this exhaustively researched and fascinating series. With a wry style and a sensitivity for all audiences, the episodes so far make the listener wish for the next 450 or so in this magnum opus to arrive sooner rather than later!”
