Welcome to another edition of Today in Boston ROCK, where I, Adam 12, spotlight Very Important Days In Rock History. March 9th is one.

1980

March 9, 1980: The Clash headlines the Orpheum Theatre in Boston. I wrote about the legendary gig on the 40th anniversary two years ago, and found audio!

1987

March 9, 1987: U2 releases their acclaimed fifth album The Joshua Tree. To celebrate the 35th anniversary, we've ranked the band's 50 best songs. See how many from the album made the cut.

1993

March 9, 1993: Lenny Kravitz releases perhaps his best-ever album, Are You Gonna Go My Way. Four words: Cindy Blackman on drums.

2007

March 9, 2007: Boston lead singer Brad Delp is found dead in his New Hampshire home. If you don't think Brad was one of the strongest-ever voices in rock, this might change your mind.
