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
2022
Red Hot Chili Peppers
– Unlimited Love
A relaxed, exploratory sprawl with a familiar groove, this album finds a seasoned band stretching without straining. Funky, fluid, and occasionally soaring, it’s less about hits and more about vibe, chemistry, and the joy of playing together again.
2003
The White Stripes
– Elephant
Elephant by The White Stripes is raw, feral, and era-defining—garage rock, blues, and punk colliding with primal energy. Jack White shreds, Meg’s drumming lands like a hammer, and every song pulses with swagger, heartbreak, and urgency. A battle cry that still sounds massive.
