Let's Monkee around and focus more on the talents of these 4 guys, the working of a real band as well as having fun with the television show,movie,merch. ect.

Re: The Monkees: All Things Monkees

I always love the Monkees music as well as their TV show. Whenever I would be asked to bring the music for a party whether it was in the 80's or even now,I always had/have the Monkees.At any time you can throw a Monkees tune in the mix & people will love it.
My Favorite tunes are "Pleasant Valley Sunday","Stepping Stone", & "Mary Mary" but I love just about everything they did.

Nice pics Flower..

Yeah Thump I do have HEAD. It's an awesome movie it really is.

As far as "flop" goes it kinda was. I mean back in '68 it was too heavy for the teen girls and too Monkees for the heavy fans.

But over time it became loved by all (or a much larger audience) and critics too. Much like Magical Mystery Tour for the Beatles.

But Jack Nicholson makes a cameo and also co-wrote wrote and co-directed HEAD with Bob Rafelson who worked on the television show too.

Their next movie together would be....
