Eric Clapton's "461 Ocean Boulevard" (1974), named after his Florida address, marked his return after a three-year hiatus due to heroin addiction. It was led by the hit "I Shot the Sheriff". #RockHistory #ClassicRock

Slade (1966–1992)

Misspelt, foot-stomping yob-glam that owned the early-'70s UK charts and gave the world its most inescapable Christmas song. Platform boots, top hats and 'Cum On Feel the Noize'. Loud, daft, brilliant.

#OnThisDay 1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣9️⃣ #Foreigner released their 3rd album Head Games which continued their incredible success. But what truly makes this album unique among Foreigner albums is the fact that the best material's found within the mostly unheralded songs in the heart of the album.

Mott the Hoople (1969–1980)

On the verge of splitting in 1972, they were saved by a song David Bowie wrote for them — "All the Young Dudes" — and became glam's unlikely working-class heroes. The band that almost wasn't.

Bryan Ferry (b. 1945)

The lounge lizard in the immaculate suit, crooning over Roxy Music's avant-glam — and dating the models who graced their sleeves. The smoothest man in rock, by a distance.

The Smiths' debut (1984) was first recorded with Troy Tate, but those results were shelved for a new John Porter–produced version. Marr's jangly guitars and Morrissey's lyrics made it a landmark. #RockHistory #PostPunk

The INXS Kick cover has main-character energy in the most 1980s way possible. Absolute flex. ✨

Helloween's "Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I" (1987) marked the first appearance of vocalist Michael Kiske and is considered the album that created European-style power metal. #RockHistory #Metal

Roxy Music (1970–1983)

Art-school glamour with a saxophone and a synth, fronted by a crooner in a tuxedo and once featuring Brian Eno in feathers and eyeliner. They made decadence sound impossibly sophisticated.

Inspiriert vom Publikumsjubel für ihre härteren Songs wollte Dream Theater mit "Train of Thought" (2003) ein "balls to the wall"-Album machen - geschrieben in nur drei Wochen. #RockHistory #ProgRock
