The Monkees

[sherb]

Whatever you think of them, they've endured.

A new album and tour is being released this year for their 50th anniversary. Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) is producing the album, so that fills me with confidence about its quality.

Here is a long interview with the Exec Producer of the album about what is happening this year. The year of the monkee.

Not as good as Sherbet were.

 

[King Elvis]

They were under rated because they weren't taken seriously, but they were quality.

Hollies another hugely under rated band.

 

[Heardy_101]

Wow!

Won't be the same without Davy Jones, however.

I remember them more for their TV show more than anything.

They were under rated because they weren't taken seriously, but they were quality.

Hollies another hugely under rated band.

Yep, the Hollies are a wonderful band.

The Monkees produced great pop tunes that stand up still today. They had access to the top songwriters of the day and had a massive publicity machine behind them.

Top session musos helped out on their first album.

Contrary to popular belief, Nesmith and Tork were accomplished musos who'd been on the band circuit for years.

An ongoing bewilderment as to how The Monkees are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
