Athens, GA was a tiny corner of the state, rich in agriculture. But it also grew some of the most vibrant music of the 70s and 80s.

The Rickenbacker guitar got a new lease on life when John Lennon discovered it. Its signature sound has since featured on many rock classics.

One of the biggest bands of the 90s wasn't above pinching inspiration and riffs from the 60s, 70s and beyond.

Cartoon heroes, comic books, Saturday afternoon movies...all these have served as fodder for some rock stars and their memorable songs.

As a member of The Monkees, Micky Dolenz always had an ear for hits. So his latest run at the music of R.E.M. isn't so surprising.
