It's why childhood seems to take forever. The same thing happens during say an accident when time seems to stall. Every year after chips away at that and alters our perceptions again making it seem the next 18 to 20 years goes by abnormally quick.

In 1970 I had many of the Monkees' hits on 45s and by 1976 I had them on 8 track. I still watch the shows and "Listen to the Band" which, in my opinion, is Michael Nesmith's best!

Been in love with the Monkees since I was 12. I basically owe most of my writing career to them lol. The novel series that my best friend and I are writing started out as fanfiction that included the Monkees. We eventually decided to convert it into our own original work, so we created new characters based in part (probably a huge part, tbh) on their physical descriptions. To this day, I still love their music and the TV show. And I'm probably one of the few individuals on the planet who's willing to watch Head sober! lol I don't understand why some people are still so against the Monkees being inducted into the Hall of Fame. It's been fifty freaking years, people! The fact that people still talk about them and are fans of them to this day should count for something. But I guess there's always going to be some part of life that isn't fair, so we just have to deal with it. Who knows, maybe if we're patient enough, in another fifty years it might happen. Until then, the fact that they're not isn't going to stop me from enjoying their music. RIP Davy & Peter

You're only talking about the first year of their career before they fired Don Kirchner. Even then Mike Nesmith had a hand in writing and playing on some of the songs on the first two albums. They eventually became a real band, wrote their own music, played their own instruments, and made their own albums. That first real Monkees album "Headquarters" outsold both the Beatles and Stones in 1967. They even went on tour as a real band.

@@jaquigreenlees Now that you mentioned the minor comparisons, I see your point. Not to sound offensive, but because I wasn't born yet in the 1960s, it seemed like the critics put the Monkees under a microscope just to find anything to say that they were a Beatles rip-off. I do have the Monkees' first album--as far as their first TV season songs, perhaps "Let's Dance On" might have some of that Beatles influence. I also remember the Monkees wearing matching outfits in their first TV season. If my history is correct, the Beatles starting the British Invasion earlier in the 1960s would lead to the trend of being considered "hip" if one was British and had the accent(I believe there were also British fashion trends). According to Eric Leifcowitz's (sp.) book, "The Monkees Tale," Davy "was at the right place at the right time" when he'd auditioned for the Monkees; it's probably safe to say that his British accent was among the contributing, if not deciding factors, that made him one of the four Monkees

With their first album being bumped from #1 by their second album at the end of January. The second album held #1 for five months to be knocked from the top for one week by Herb Alpert, The following week, June 24th, they were #1 again with their third album but for only a week, knocked from #1 by 'Srgt. Pepper', but maintained #2 for most of the summer. Their fourth album held #1 for all of December 1967. So, in the end they held the #1 spot for seven months of 1967.

My brother an I became friends with Davy Jones in Ft.Lauderdale, FL. At the time in 1976, I believe, Davy and Micky Dolenz were preparing for a big gig with Disney. I was a serious tennis player and one day Davy walked up and asked if he could hit some balls with me. Next thing we knew, we were doubles partners on a regular basis. Considering his diminutive stature, he was an EXCELLENT tennis player with amazing quickness and range. On a personal note, Davy was always upbeat and very funny. Whenever girls spotted him on the court, or courtside, he always took the time to chat, recount stories and take pics. By the way, Davy always wanted to be a jockey and he loved horse racing. And when we went to the South Florida tracks, I always came home richer than I left. I miss you old friend. To this day, when I watch you sing Daydream Believer, those tears start rolling down my cheeks.

"...the gold standard for all MANUFACTURED boy-bands" -- i.e. they were as talented as four rolls of toilet tissue. TALENT IS NOT, CANNOT EVER BE 'MANUFACTURED'... The Chimps were an embarrassment to a country with so many great names in music. The Chimps were a useless, make belief, pretentious, pretend 'band', LOL, and laughing stock around the world. Whatever undeserved success they may have had it was because some studio composer came up with whatever songs made it to the charts.

I don't think they were a fake band at all, though they were a manufactured band. Mike and Peter were legit musicians, Micky was an actor with a great singing voice, and Davy was an accomplished actor and singer. They didn't come together on their own, but they were wonderful as a group.

One bit of info they kind of skirted around was the movie Head. The truth of the matter was, ALL of the Monkees wanted to kill off the franchise. Why? They were sick of being corporate puppets and wanted to do their own thing. Head was the perfect solution. Why? Because A.) It contained risqué and controversial content that caused it to get a rating that GUARENTEED that their core audience WOULD NOT be able to see it. (Their core audience was predominantly children and YOUNG teenagers...and you had to be at least 17 to see Head.). B.) the content REALLY annoyed "mainstream America", guaranteeing that the film would flop. Though this info was presented on another well known documentary on the band, for some reason this little factoid seems to have gotten skipped.

Stephen Stills denies that he was there to try out for the Monkees. He was in the studio because he wanted to promote some songs he wrote. He did however encourage Peter Tork to try out. Stills said it is a myth about the bad teeth thing.

Colgems didn't exist when they began casting the Monkees. It was still called Colpix (Columbia Pictures) when the whole Monkees project started. It only changed to Colgems (Columbia Pictures & Screen Gems) with the release of 'Last Train To Clarksville' in August of '66. Monkees project began in the spring of '65.

After seeing Help I realized that the Monkees' producers took *alot* from that movie. It very much looks like a Monkees episode, so much so that The Beatles and The Monkees could've been interchangeable in the Help film. I think if you ask a lot of major bands today they would have a lot of positive things to say about them. I had one of the Aurora plastic model Monkee Mobile cars complete with a Monkees key fob that came with it.
