Itβs September 20th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
In 1968, Led Zeppelin started recording their self-titled debut album at Londonβs Olympic Studios. It only took 36 hours of studio time.
In 1973, singer Jim Croce was killed in a plane crash in Louisiana. He was 30 years old.
In 1976, AC/DC released their third album, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
In 1980, Queen started a five-week run on top of the album charts with The Game, the bandβs only number one record in America.
In 1975, David Bowie had his first number one song in America with βFame.β
In 1986, Huey Lewis and the Newsβ βStuck With Youβ started a two-week run on top of the singles chart.
And in 1991, Nirvana kicked off a six-week US tour in support of their second album, Nevermind.Β
And thatβs what happened today in rock history.
