Title: The Monkees? Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on March 29, 2007, 06:18:40 PM Anyone a fan? I became a fan when MTV did a marathon of the TV show back in 1986. I was 13 at the time & dropped the GI Joes & Transformers and ready to get into music. ( Guns N Roses came along the next year)
The Monkees actually had some good songs back in the day. A lot better than the recent manufactured bands of the late 90's. They were the group which led me to the Beatles and the other great music of the 60's. Title: Re: The Monkees?

....His name completely escapes me at the moment though because I haven't thought of the Monkees in years :hihi: Title: Re: The Monkees? Post by: Bill 213 on March 29, 2007, 09:53:49 PM If not for Davey Jones........there would be no David Bowie!!!
Mr. Bowie's birthname was of course David Jones also.......so he changed it due to the fact that the other Davey was already famous with the Monkees. Alas Bowie! I always loved their music though..........Daydream Believer, Last Train To Clarksville, etc. If you guys ever saw the newer Brady Bunch movie, David performs "Girl" with a metal band...it was actually pretty catchy.

Oh, Davey took Marcia to a dance! ;D Title: Re: The Monkees?

He was my favorite also. Of all the 4, Mike along with Peter were more musicians than actors. But Mike had better songs than Peter. He did a country rock sound within the Monkees which was pretty new at the time. Title: Re: The Monkees?

There are countless others, but off the top of my head, those are three I absolutely love : ok: |
