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
1997
Supergrass
– In It for the Money
Bigger, bolder, and bursting with energy, In It for the Money refines raw enthusiasm into something sharper and more ambitious. Gritty riffs meet sweeping melodies, playful chaos meets deeper moods—it’s a ride through styles and emotions that lingers long after the last note.
1992
The Cure
– Wish
Wish is The Cure at their most dynamic—soaring highs, gut-wrenching lows. Jangly joy (Friday I’m in Love) meets sprawling heartbreak (From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea). Bigger guitars, deeper emotions—proof they were never just gloom merchants.
