Rock Albums Released on This Day in History
The perfect daily read for fans looking to explore rock history one day—and one album—at a time.
Featured Rock Albums
2005
Sleater-Kinney
– The Woods
The Woods stands as a testament to Sleater-Kinney’s willingness to push boundaries and defy expectations. It’s an album that challenges, provokes, and ultimately rewards those who dare to listen.
1974
David Bowie
– Diamond Dogs
Diamond Dogs is glam rock’s haunted house—gritty, paranoid, and feral. Bowie ditches Ziggy for a dystopian carnival of fuzzed-out riffs and Orwellian decay. It’s messy, theatrical, and utterly alive—a glam apocalypse you can dance through.
