Died The Monkees' Daydream Believer is one of pop's most recognizable hits. John Stewart, the former Kingston Trio member who wrote it, may not have been as well known, but he was a cult figure among peers. Stewart made 40 solo albums, traveled as a performer with Robert Kennedy's 1968 campaign and wrote hits for Joan Baez, Rosanne Cash and others. His masterpiece, though, was a collection of narrative gems inspired by trips around the country with his father. Among the 200 best albums of all time, according to Rolling Stone, 1969's California Bloodlines helped define...

...Crimson used a come-from-behind victory over the Big Green to begin a run to 13 league victories and the Ivy championship, with a loss at Yale as its only speed bump. On its title run, Harvard used a deadly combination of youth and experience—a trio of stellar sophomores with junior Lindsay Hallion running the point and senior Christiana Lackner dominating the boards—to power a high-scoring offense. While youth was often a blessing, it was sometimes a curse—the Crimson’s young starters could be prone to forcing...
...wrong note, but Canadian Oscar Peterson's technical skills were only part of his genius. Peterson, whom Duke Ellington called the Maharaja of the Keyboard, took the piano to new heights as soloist; sideman (for Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie); composer; and leader of the Oscar Peterson Trio, which some call jazz's finest. He could hold back, then rip down the keyboard at lightning speed; he was a hard-swinging, dizzying improvisor on technically and creatively stunning works like Canadiana Suite and Blues Etude. He made 300 records and won eight Grammys. His passion was improvisation, which he called...
