What Would They Listen To… in 2025?
We’ve hosted some amazing guest playlists, but let’s face it — some of the most interesting people in history aren’t exactly returning our emails.
So we asked ourselves:
If Albert Einstein, Cleopatra, or Johnny Cash were alive today… what new music would they be streaming on Masters Radio?
This series is our best guess — a little speculative, a little reverent, and always grounded in one thing: brand new music from legendary artists still writing, still recording, still kicking ass.
No throwbacks. No tribute bands. Just greatness, reimagined.

Every state has its musical legends, hometown heroes, forgotten pioneers, and bands people will fight about in the comments section for the next twenty years. This experiment dives headfirst into the artists who helped define the sound, attitude, and identity of each state across rock, pop, hip hop, country, alternative, metal, soul, punk, and everything in between. Some picks will feel obvious. Others are guaranteed to start arguments. Honestly, that is half the fun. Welcome to the musical map of America according to Masters Radio.
