i absolutely hate that they are called the "prefab four." i don't think some folks give them enough credit for what they had to deal with in the beginning...but they showed every one !!! i will love them forever !!!
-
The Monkees had more cool tunes than people knew. The Door Into Summer being one of the best.
-
I've been into the so called cool music since I was a teen, hard rock, prog , jazz fusion etc . My guilty pleasure has always been the Monkees!
-
I loved the Monkees as a kid and always will. They were a part of my life❤
-
Thanks Tim. I know I'm not the only boomer who made some scratch playing Monkees covers in bar bands in the 70s. Thanks for the good times guys.
-
The Monkees were one of my all time favorites and they were one of the best of the best !! I don't see them as ever falling.
-
Nez's solo stuff is essential. He definitely performed to a "Different Drum".
-
So this is the first vid under the official new name, Rock Essentials. Hope you like it!

Micky is one of the great lead singers of the Pop Music Era. Like his contemporaries Mark Lindsay and Burton Cummings, he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. As to the Monkees. They were an invented band that through the sheer will and talent of the members became a real band. And a great one. That’s how they should be remembered.
-
Excellent presentation and analysis. The Monkees were indeed pretty fabulous. Please do a video on the group Love.
-
And speaking of the Wrecking Crew, methinks they more than deserve one of your fact-filled and well-researched segments. What say, Tim?

I had the chance to visit Mickey Dolenz house in Laurel Canyon back in the 80s. I found two pictures in the attic of his house. Still have them to this day.

Happy Birthday to Davy and Mike. Here's to ya!:hand-purple-blue-peace:

Davy Jones was my first crush as an 8 year old. I played Daydream Believer non-stop for weeks. Pre-Fab or not they were terrific to this girl.
-
I grew up on The Monkees reruns and loved every moment.
-
I was lucky to see the Monkees in Seattle before Mike's passing. A fantastic show. Thanks for such a beautiful tour! We'll done! Ben Franks❤

It was the tone of Mickey's voice that really made them IMO

Thanks for the video. I have read in more than one place that Stephen Stills was rejected by the studio because he had "bad teeth" but told his friend Peter Tork about the gig. Your version of events sounds more plausible to me, however. In any event, it's fortunate for the world that Stills didn't get that job, because rock history would have been changed for the worse. No CSN or CSN&Y.
