Most of those were genuine and wrote their own material. The Monkees were a total contrivance.I think they did considering what they were, a manufactured programmed pop music machine.Oh shit very sad the Monkees never really got the respect they deserved as band especially Peter and Mike.
Michael Nesmith, in my opinion, was the only guy in that group who had any innate talent or appeal.
Nearly all of those groups back then were manufactured pop music machines. Grass Roots, Byrds, Beatles, Mommas and Papas, Sonny and Cher, etc.
That's true and people know who was genuine and not.Most of those were genuine and wrote their own material. The Monkees were a total contrivance..
except for a few by nesmith they did not write any....so why would they get royalties?.......Too bad they got screwed. They only played a band on TV and got no royalties from their songs.
the same guy who said the Byrds were too....That's true and people know who was genuine and not.Most of those were genuine and wrote their own material. The Monkees were a total contrivance..
By the way....the Beatles were a "manufactured pop music machine"?
Which fool said that?
as well as A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You and Look Out(Here Comes Tommorow)....Neil Diamond wrote I'm a believer.
Yes. Quite the non expert when it comes to 60's music and musicians.the same guy who said the Byrds were too....
yep....im sure he puts the Stones and the Kinks and Yardbirds in that category too...Yes. Quite the non expert when it comes to 60's music and musicians.the same guy who said the Byrds were too....
And ‘A little bit me a little bit you’.Neil Diamond wrote I'm a believer.
LOL...probably true.yep....im sure he puts the Stones and the Kinks and Yardbirds in that category too...
He was my fav when I was a teen fan.So long Peter.
Two Monkees left.
Peter Tork of the Monkees Dies at 77
Peter Tork, the guitarist and wise-cracking character in the 1960s teen-pop sensation the Monkees, died today at the age of 77, a rep for the group confirmed to Variety. Speaking with the Washington Post, Tork’s sister Anne Thorkelson did not specify a cause of death, although the guitarist had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer a decade ago.
Tork wrote a blog piece for the Post about his diagnosis with adenoid cystic carcinoma after beginning treatment in 2009. Through most of the 10 years since, he had been able to resume an active musical life, participating in Monkees reunion tours as recently as 2016, and recording his own solo blues albums, the last of which, “Relax Your Mind,” came out early last year.

Larry Taylor played bass on several of those Monkees sessions. Taylor is ‘the’ renowned contemporary blues bass player having recorded and performed for years with Tom Waits and every bonafide blues act of the past fifty years, including being a founding and remaining member of Canned Heat
(Going up the Country, On the Road Again, performed at Woodstock, etc).
