Welcome to another edition of Today in Boston ROCK, where I, Adam 12, spotlight Very Important Days In Rock History. March 31st is one.

1955

March 31, 1955: Angus McKinnon Young is born in Glasgow, Scotland. 67 years later and the AC/DC axeman is still wearing shortpants.

1976

March 31, 1976: Led Zeppelin releases their seventh studio album, Presence. I wrote about the album for its 45th anniversary last year.

1998

March 31, 1998: Fuel releases their debut full-length Sunburn. Fun fact? The album was recorded right here in Massachusetts at Long View Farm in North Brookfield. "Shimmer" still slays.
