Alice in Chains' "Dirt" (1992) war das letzte Album mit allen vier Originalmitgliedern. Auf "Iron Gland" singt Tom Araya von Slayer. Es wurde mit 5-fach Platin ihr kommerziell erfolgreichstes Werk. #RockHistory #Grunge

"Rock or Bust" (2014) was AC/DC's first album with Stevie Young replacing Malcolm Young. At about 35 minutes it's their shortest album, and it hit number one in 12 countries. #RockHistory #ClassicRock

Blue Öyster Cult (1967–present)

The thinking person's metal band — "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", umlauts, and a cowbell joke that outlived them all. Cerebral, sinister and weirdly catchy.

Ted Nugent (b. 1948)

The Motor City Madman who plays guitar in a loincloth, hunts with a bow, and never touched the drugs that felled his peers. Loud, divisive and relentlessly himself. "Stranglehold" still scorches.

Für "Grace Under Pressure" (1984) trennte sich Rush erstmals seit 1974 von Langzeit-Produzent Terry Brown und vertiefte den synthesizerlastigen Kurs. Das Album wurde in den USA mit Platin ausgezeichnet. #RockHistory #ProgRock

1985's "Freaky Styley" was produced by Parliament-Funkadelic's George Clinton, whose chemistry energized the sessions – even though the album failed to enter the Billboard 200. #RockHistory #Funk

Bob Seger (b. 1945)

The gravel-voiced bard of the American heartland — "Night Moves", "Turn the Page" — who sang about fumbling teenage love and lonely highways. Detroit's working-class poet laureate.

After Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman left, Yes recorded "Drama" (1980) hurriedly with Trevor Horn on vocals and Geoff Downes – because a tour was already booked. It peaked at No. 2 in the UK. #RockHistory #ProgRock

Cream's "Wheels of Fire" (1968) came as a two-disc LP: one disc recorded in the studio, the other recorded live. #RockHistory #ClassicRock

ZZ Top (1969–present)

That little ol' band from Texas — beards, hot rods, and spinning fuzzy guitars. Two of the three bearded ones are named Beard; the drummer, Frank Beard, is the clean-shaven one. Blues-boogie with a wink.

Muse self-produced "The Resistance" (2009) at their studio in Como, Italy, including the 13-minute three-part symphony "Exogenesis." It won the Grammy for Best Rock Album. #RockHistory #ProgRock

Billie Eilish schrieb "Hit Me Hard and Soft" (2024) mit ihrem Bruder Finneas, der auch produzierte. Es führte in über 20 Ländern die Charts an; "Wildflower" gewann später den Grammy als Song of the Year. #RockHistory #PopRock

Ronnie Van Zant (1948–1977)

The barefoot, hard-drinking poet of Southern rock who reportedly told friends he'd never see 30 — and died at 29 in the 1977 plane crash. He's buried, as legend has it, in a Neil Young T-shirt.
