On this day in 1995, The Smashing Pumpkins released ‘Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.’ With “1979,” “Tonight, Tonight” and “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” the ambitious double album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard.
On this day in 1975, Roxy Music released ‘Siren,’ featuring “Love Is the Drug” and “Both Ends Burning.” Bryan Ferry and company blended art rock, glamour and dancefloor grooves into an album that still sounds impossibly cool.
RAYE won the 2026 Mercury Prize with 'THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.', an album that moves from jazz and soul to R&B and classical music. The four-part record made a compelling case for thinking bigger than singles. https://zurl.co/Xy47F

Who is the most famous musician you have ever spoken to?
From 'Rumours' to decades of reunions and upheaval, Fleetwood Mac's story is coming to Apple in a film by Frank Marshall. Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie revisit their history. https://zurl.co/PVgHn
On this day in 1988, U2 hit #1 in the U.K. with 'Rattle and Hum', their double album and film soundtrack that gave them their first U.K. #1 single, “Desire.” Rock, gospel, and heart all in one unforgettable roar.
The ‘WKRP In Cincinnati’ closing theme was pure genius. Atlanta musician Jim Ellis hadn’t written lyrics yet, so he just sang gibberish — to parody how no one could understand rock lyrics anyway.
On this day in 1977, Meat Loaf released ‘Bat Out of Hell.’ After years of record label rejections, Steven Van Zandt helped get it signed. Jim Steinman's theatrical rock epic went on to sell over 40 million copies worldwide.
On this day in 1980, Bruce Springsteen released “Hungry Heart,” his first Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit, reaching No. 5. Originally written for the Ramones, The Boss kept it after his manager convinced him it was too good to give away.
