Description

From Beatles breakthroughs to Zeppelin dominance, this week in rock history had it all. On October 6, 1969, George Harrison stepped into the spotlight when The Beatles released Something, the first Harrison-penned A-side. That same day in 1979, Led Zeppelin’s In Through the Out Door hit #1 in the U.S., marking the last chart-topping moment before John Bonham’s passing. But it wasn’t all triumph—on October 6, 1966, rock lost Johnny Kidd of Johnny Kidd & the Pirates in a tragic car crash.

Triumphs, tragedies, and timeless classics—that’s what keeps rock’s story alive.
