It’s a big day for milestone birthdays: John Mayer turns 45, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea hits the big 6-0, and Mayer’s Dead & Co. bandmate Bob Weir blows out 75 candles. Also celebrating (or not) today: Singer-guitarist Bob Mould, who turns 62, and Bachman-Turner Overdrive bassist Fred Turner, who will be 79. While you put together that crazy playlist of Grateful Dead, RHCP, Hüsker Dü and BTO classics, cruise through this list of the 350-plus new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes coming down the road:
