Classic rock releases, week 42

This week in classic rock, new releases and archival discoveries highlight the genre's enduring legacy. From unreleased Rolling Stones tracks and a long-lost Black Sabbath session to Zebra's first new album in over two decades, the spotlight shines on both historic moments and fresh creative ventures. Artists like Taylor Swift and Greta Van Fleet continue to influence the landscape, while reissues and restored footage from Pink Floyd and The Doors offer deeper access to iconic performances. Meanwhile, collaborations and covers, from Tame Impala and SZA to Yttling Jazz and Chrissie Hynde, reveal ongoing cross-generational connections in rock music.
