The perfect daily read for fans looking to explore rock history one day—and one album—at a time.
Featured Rock Albums
1970
Creedence Clearwater Revival
– Cosmo’s Factory
Cosmo’s Factory is Creedence at full throttle—gritty, swampy, and relentless. Fogerty’s bark leads a band that hits like a bar fight and a revival all at once. No filler, no polish—just pure, driving American rock with sweat, swagger, and soul.
