Rock Albums Released in September
September has always been a dynamic month for rock music, signaling a fresh start as the industry ramps up for the fall season. For many artists, it became a prime moment to release new albums, offering a balance between the summer’s vibrancy and the introspective energy of autumn. However, in the earlier decades of rock, particularly the 1960s and 1970s, some albums arrived in September without an exact release date, lost to less stringent documentation practices of the time. These albums often carried the experimental and genre-defying sounds that defined the era, reflecting both the bold creativity of the artists and the fluid nature of album distribution back then.
