Why September 20th Matters In Rock History

Itā€™s 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 Londonā€™s 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 bandā€™s only number one record in America.

In 1975, David Bowie had his first number one song in America with ā€œFame.ā€

In 1986, Huey Lewis and the Newsā€™ ā€œStuck With Youā€ 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

And thatā€™s what happened today in rock history.
