Why July 11th Matters In Rock History



- In 1987, Heart had the No. 1 song in the U.S. with their ballad, “Alone.”


- In 1975, Fleetwood Mac released their 10th studio album – and second self-titled record. It was the first album featuring the songwriting couple Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.


- In 1999, Limp Bizkit started a three-week run at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with their first ever US chart topper, Significant Other.

- In 2000, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich was the first witness to testify at a US Senate hearing over copyright law issues concerning free sharing of music files on website like Napster and MP3.com.


And that’s what happened today in rock history.
