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
2010
The National
– High Violet
High Violet doesn’t give you easy catharsis. It just lets you sit in the mess with good company. It’s a record that feels like it knows you, maybe a little too well. But you’ll keep it around anyway—somehow, its sadness feels like home.
1982
Duran Duran
– Rio
Rio isn’t just an album—it’s a neon fever dream where synths shimmer, basslines dance, and new wave feels cinematic. Duran Duran turned decadence into sound, crafting an album that still moves, seduces, and refuses to stand still. A slick masterpiece.
