Itās 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 Londonās 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 bandās only number one record in America.
In 1975, David Bowie had his first number one song in America with āFame.ā
In 1986, Huey Lewis and the Newsā āStuck 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.
