Sunday Morning Coming Down: The Monkees, Head
Who’d have thought that the ’60s princes of pure pop would also create a beautifully mellow and surreal psychedelic album before the crazy Monkees ride came to a halt? Hired as actors, the individual Monkees, it turned out, had talent to spare. And given the opportunity to break out of their network TV chains and explore their own artistic visions, they came up one of the finest psychedelic album of the late ’60s.

What Were They Thinking? (An Angry Reader’s Guide to Gibson.com’s Top 50 Beatles Songs)
Was your choice for top Beatles song languishing somewhere in the 30s or 40s? Or, worse, did it not make the list at all? Well, the Gibson.com editorial team feels your pain. There are some of us who think that “I Feel Fine” should outrank “Hey Jude,” that “Here, There and Everywhere” deserved Top 10 consideration, that “If I Fell” somehow should have cracked the Top 50 – not to mention “Lady Madonna,” “All You Need is Love” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”

Lou Reed’s Post-Velvet Underground Guitar Glories and his Gallery of Gibson Guitars
Lou Reed is one of the finest songwriters of the rock ’n’ roll era – the Dylan of the backstreets and the demimonde. But his catalog of classic songs like the Velvet Underground’s “I’m Waiting for the Man,” “Sister Ray,” “Candy Says” and “Sweet Jane,” and his solo gems like “Walk on the Wild Side,” “The Blue Mask,” “Sally Can’t Dance” and “Dirty Blvd.” often overshadow his grinding, nasty way of pulling some of the most distinctive sounds ever put to tape out of his guitar.
