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
The White Stripes
– Get Behind Me Satan
Get Behind Me Satan is Jack White’s crooked detour—marimbas, pianos, and vaudeville blues replace power chords in a moody, mask-wearing reinvention. It’s uneasy, splintered, and strange—and all the more compelling because of it.
1994
Stone Temple Pilots
– Purple
Purple is a blend of hard rock, grunge, melodic accessibility, and one of the best examples of ’90s rock at its peak. Here, the band elevated their sound from the heavy, riff-based approach of Core to a more refined, expansive style.
