Evanescence

September is traditionally the month where the biggest releases of the year are issued. So what rock + metal albums have left their marks on the ninth month?

From nu-metal to emo, pop-punk to garage rock, there were plenty of great rock albums to choose from in the 2000s.

Two decades and they still hold up.

From Linkin Park to Limp Bizkit, the genre's best are all there.

These songs rocked, then rolled over into the mainstream.

Amazing shots of a terrific lineup.

No one can seem to figure out why.

Show your respect to the king.

We're rockin' around the Christmas tree and into a long list of rock stars who are celebrating their birthdays this month.
