Loved the Monkees and always used to watch the TV show on Saturday mornings when I was a kid. I agree their songs were better than given credit for. Another idol from when I was a kid has gone....very sad....RIP Davy Jones......
Loved the TV show when I was a kid and always enjoyed their music.
I bought their greatest hits album a few years ago and the notes inside the CD gave a fairly lengthy history of the band. Whilst many people criticised them for being manufactured and not playing their own instruments they were in fact all talented musicians - just not on the instruments that the record/TV execs wanted them 'playing'. It should have been Tork on guitar, Nesmith on bass, and Jones on drums, with Dolenz as singer.
Rip Davy, loved the monkees, first real created pop band apart from the archies, they had some cracking songs tho, bit like take that i suppose but more fun.

RIP Davy.
To think Davy was the one with the baby face unlike Mickey Dolenz who looked about 70 when he was 25.
RIP Davy.
Much better songs than they are given credit for too.
I thought she was OK.
Then I saw her face
RIP Davy.
