As much as I appreciate the Christgau guide to 1967, I would like to point out the omission of one very influential album. I am speaking, of course, of MORE OF THE MONKEES. You may laugh but where do you think John Cale lifted that organ sound for Sister Ray?

As much as I appreciate the Christgau guide to 1967, I would like to point out the omission of one very influential album. I am speaking, of course, of MORE OF THE MONKEES. You may laugh but where do you think John Cale lifted that organ sound for Sister Ray? I'm A Believer, you betcha. Maybe it was Cale atthat, ever notice how much he resembles Peter Tork? Ever notice how much Mick Ralphs resembles Squeaky Fromme?

(You're absolutely right, but did you ever notice how much Johnny Winter looks like Edgar Winter?-Ed.)
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO WHO?
