What the Riff Next Gen is a music podcast hosted by Rob Marbury, Wayne Rowan, Bruce Fricks, John Lynch. It has 411 episodes, with the latest published April 2026.

Every episode of “WHAT THE RIFF NEXT GEN” brings a ROCK AND ROLL album that debuted on the U.S. Billboard charts during a random month between 1995 and 2005. Four classic rock fans discuss the artist and 4 tracks from the album as it plays in the background. Then we riff on 3 additional “staff picks” of other artists that were also on the charts during that month and year. You’ll hear Classic Rock bands that were still producing new work, as well as some newer Alternative and Grunge bands that were gaining momentum during this century-splitting time period.We encourage you to find and purchase the tracks and albums from iTunes, Spotify or your other favorite music service.
