Today in 1990: EPMD released their third studio album, Business as Usual. Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith's first album for Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin's legendary Def Jam Records, the album also featured the debut of a then-unknown Redman. Singles included "Gold Digger" and "Rampage."

Today in 1977: Elvis Costello was banned from Saturday Night Live after cutting "Less Than Zero" short and replacing it with the scathing "Radio, Radio." Costello would return to SNL in 1999 to repeat the gag by interrupting the Beastie Boy's performance of "Sabotage," now with SNL's approval.

Today in 1993: MTV aired Nirvana's Unplugged set for the first time (though it was filmed in November). Songs like "Something in the Way" gained a new popularity, and they introduced young listeners to their influences with their covers of The Vaselines, Meat Puppets, Lead Belly, and David Bowie.

Today in 1944: Glenn Miller suddenly disappears after he and two others go missing while flying over the English Channel. Miller's career saw many countless achievements, including the first gold record ("Chattanooga Choo Choo") and more top ten hits than The Beatles. The plane has never been found.

Today in 1992: Dr. Dre released his solo debut, The Chronic. After leaving N.W.A. in 1991, Dre began to carve out a solo career for himself. With a then-unknown Snoop Dogg, The Chronic produced classics like "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" and went down as one of West Coast rap's biggest classics.

Today in 1987: Dinosaur Jr released their classic sophomore album You're Living All Over Me. Distributed by Greg Ginn's (Black Flag) legendary SST label, YLAOM saw them embrace a more traditional indie rock sound. The result was a classic that influenced bands like Modest Mouse, Weezer, and Nirvana.
