Featured Rock Albums
2023
Foo Fighters
– But Here We Are
But Here We Are is Foo Fighters at their rawest—grief-stricken, unfiltered, and loud. It’s a gut-punch of love and loss, with Grohl breaking and rebuilding in real time. No polish, just pain, power, and the sound of surviving one more chorus.
1980
Elvis Presley
– From Elvis in Memphis
From Elvis in Memphis solidifies Elvis Presley’s status as one of rock’s most influential artists. The album marked a triumphant comeback, showcasing a mature and soulful sound influenced by the Memphis music scene.
1977
Bruce Springsteen
– Darkness on the Edge of Town
Every song feels like a late-night drive through empty streets, headlights cutting through the quiet ache of missed chances and stubborn hope. It’s desperate, sure, but it’s also defiant—Springsteen refuses to let the fight go out of him, even when the weight of real life tries to crush it.
