Rock in Retrospect
“Rock in Retrospect” focuses on the lives, careers and legacies of artists who made a significant impact on the music industry. Host Nick Bambach invites a guest to discuss their favorite artists and why they matter. We also occasionally create episodes focusing on awards shows and music-related institutions such as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Oscars, the Kennedy Center Honors and the Grammys. If you enjoy stimulating and often-humorous discussions about music history in a laid-back environment, then this is the podcast for you!

The Rock Hall Prospects Project: 2022 Update
In a roundtable discussion of Nick's recently-revised rankings of his Top 100 Rock Hall Prospects Project (aka Top Rock Hall Snubs), he is joined by 4 guests who are incredibly knowledgeable of all things Rock Hall: Joe Kwaczala (Who Cares About the Rock Hall?) , Mark Lempke (The Also-Rans), Tom Lane (Tom Lane's Music Blog) and Troy Smith (CLE Rocks). While we focus primarily on the artists added and removed from the original list, we also discuss a wide number of issues related to the Rock Hall. It's a thought-provoking and often-hilarious discussion that allows us to critically think about the future of the Rock Hall and the direction they are likely heading. And with the 2022 nominations quickly approaching, there's no better time to think about the upcoming class than right now.
Here is the link to Nick's updated rankings of the project on his website. Please refer to this list while you are listening to this episode.
