Subject: Favorite Monkees ' Songs
:)
I may not grow up with thier songs but I like and am interested in the past decades music scene.. Those songs from past decades are fantastic and classic.
I love "Daydream Believer" and "I'm a Believer".
The animated movie "Shrek" use the latter in it.However it was a remake by Smashmouth.
Are there any other recommended Monkees's songs ?

Last Train to Clarksville is a fun song.
Subject: Re: Favorite Monkees ' Songs
Check out "Randy Scouse Git/Alternate Title" - it is a bit different from their standard fare... ;)

Believe it or not, that was a very subtle anti-war song.
The one I kind of like (which a lot of people probably don't remember) was "Auntie Gazelda". I haven't heard it in years-decades actually.

My fave songs are: A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You; Valerie; Laugh; Saturdays Child; The Girl that I Knew Somewhere.....
Subject: Re: Favorite Monkees ' Songs
Pleasant Valley Sunday... a minimal tune musically, but with a lot of meaning behind it lyrically. And in this day and age of urban sprawl, it's almost become prophetic.
Subject: Re: Favorite Monkees ' Songs
Finally! I thread on the Monkees! I knew I loved this bulletin board for some reason. My faves have to be "Daily Nightly", "Randy Scouse Git", "Pleasant Valley Sunday", "All of Your Toys". I could go on and on, but I'll stop. I LOVE the Monkees. Micky is my all time favorite. They RULE!
Subject: Re: Favorite Monkees ' Songs
I forgot "Going Down". I guess it could almost be considered early rap. Ha!
It should also be noted that they were one of the first bands to use the moog synthesizer, not to mention responsible for MTV as we know it.
Subject: Re: Favorite Monkees ' Songs

I love all of The Monkees songs. They are great. I listen to The Monkees whenever I get the chance, which would really be all of the time.
