^ Good stuff. Believe it or not, I think the Monkees are one of the most underrated pop groups out there. Not that they didn't enjoy success, just that they are often left out of the 60's pop scene, where bands like The Byrds, the Beatles and The Beach Boys endure fame for the way they shaped music.
People often bag on the Monkees for not always playing their instruments, and having song writers write their songs. But years later, it was revealed that the Byrds followed simular practices.
