Pros: Upbeat, catchy, rock Cons: Copies the Beatles too much
When I was just a wee lad, my cousin and I were religious watchers of The Monkees (reruns of course). The music was great, and the jokes were as corny as could be - perfect for my five-year-old self, though I wouldn't mind catching some of those reruns...
Pros: Seriously fun music... Cons: Hard to take seriously...
I didn’t grow up with music around the house (unless of course you can count my mother’s infatuation with all things related to bad 1970’s country music and her equally dire attraction to Christmas music). Though, with that said my parents ...
Pros: Monster hits like "Last Train To Clarksville" and "Daydream Believer." Cons: Absolutely none.
Call them a "corporate creation," "a pre-fab four" --- call them what you will --- The Monkees and their music has stood the test of time. Anytime you cast four young actors/musicians for a TV musical/situation comedy like NBC-TV's "The Monkees" ...
Pros: Sums up the monkees pretty durned well. Cons: Too fluffy at times; seek other Monkees albums for more in-depth appreciation
The Monkees will always be my first love in the world of music.
I'll never forget it. I was nine years old, we had just acquired Nickelodeon, and The Monkees quickly became my favorite show. Nothing could come between me and ultimate...
Pros: 19 GREAT SONGS OUT OF 20 Cons: ONLY 1 WEAK SONG
This CD has some great songs from the 60’s from one of my All Time Favorite Groups along with "THE BEATLES", "THE BEACH BOYS", "PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS", "C.C.R.", "THREE DOG NIGHT" and "THE GUESS WHO" . I guess you could call me a child of the 60’s ...
Pros: good music, great to listen to over and over again Cons: It ends!
When I was little (back in the late 1980's), I came across The Monkees on TV during one long summer. I was so hooked! But, since my parents didn't like the group, I never got any of their cassettes. 8-( So when I moved out, one of their CD's was my...
Pros: Some surprisingly good pop gems. Cons: Some 'Corporate Rock' missteps, too.
The first thing, upon listening to this latest GREATEST HITS package, which pleasantly surprises is that the Monkees made some truly great pop songs in the midst of what was, arguably, the finest era of Rock & Roll.
Pros: Makes you want to fall in love! Cons: They should have had control from the start
Okay, so they are called The Monkees! But HEY HEY, consider me a MONKEE FAN! Although I was only 12 when they hit the air waves, I grew up with a love in my heart for their down to earth vocals. I would recommend all albums that this group has...
Pros: Well articulated view of late 60's "pop" culture. Cons: Nah, these guys are pros.
A few summers ago, one of the TV channels was running 4 Monkees shows a night. I jumped on that, and rode that Last Train back into my own past. What a trip. Sadly, as soon as the summer ended, so did the reruns. After looking in about 5 music...
Pros: Mostly inclusive of all the hits Cons: should have contained a few more nuggets
Whatever you think of The Monkees, this greatest hits package personifies the group from the early days to their finish. The Monkees have put out some of the best sounds of the sixties, tuned in with their time and well orchestrated. No other television...
