That's a shame, they were funny and I have all thier records. I watched the TV show when ever it was on. Interesting how they came to be and that they didn't play thier own music in the beginning.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

The Wrecking Crew documentary about the 30-40 musicians who performed the Monkees tracks plus hundreds of other pop hits sheds a bit of light into the 60s music scene and how the majority of “stars” didn’t play on their own records. Motown, New York, Muscle Shoals, Memphis and LA all had teams of studio cats, largely unknown to the public, that played all that great music you remember.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Actually only half way there, tied with the Beatles. Funny thing, my girlfriend HATES the Monkees. She howled out loud when I started putting a "best of" in the CD player. Oh well, nobody's perfect!

Glen Campbell and Leon Russell just to name a couple.

It was the two songwriters for the Monkees that impressed me. Boyce and Hart(?) They had to come up with another workable song and arrangement every seven days for the program s schedule. And only one guy was an actual musician, Tork. Davy did swing a mean Tambourine, though.
