It’s December 27th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
- In 2008, thieves broke into a house belonging to Allman Brothers Band singer and keyboardist Gregg Allman in Georgia and stole a coin collection, knives and unreleased concert recordings. Two men were charged with the burglary two days later.
- In 1969, the top three albums on the Billboard 200 were Led Zeppelin’s II, The Beatles’ Abbey Road and The Rolling Stones’ Let It Bleed.
- In 1975, Queen had their first-ever No. 1 album when A Night at the Opera topped the chart in the UK.
- In 1985, Metallica completed work on their third studio album, Master of Puppets.
- And in 1999, Bush appeared on TRL to premiere the video for their hit song “Letting the Cables Sleep.”
And that’s what happened today in rock history.
