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
1984
R.E.M.
– Reckoning
Reckoning trades Murmur‘s murk for sharper edges and restless energy. The jangle’s tougher, the rhythms tighter, and Stipe’s cryptic drawl carries new urgency. A revelation wrapped in mystery, it cemented R.E.M. as the defining architects of college rock’s golden age.
