Mike was probably the only one who knew how to read music

@switcherxx In the start of it Mike and Peter played instruments. But, Micky came along and can play too. Davey sort of can but definatly not to the extent of Mike. I think Peter is the most instrumental one though.

@Patchie97 U r so right. I still consider The Monkees real musicians even though they all didn't always play on their albums. I hate what some people say about them not being a fake band or they didn't really play thier instruments. More bands or singers do less now then The Monkees did. The Monkees wrote songs, played instruments, & sang. If that's not what a musician is then I don't know what is. I luv The Monkees!

@switcherxx All of them knew how to read music. Davy played the Artful Dodger in Oliver! and actor/performers in musicals are almost always given sheet music to read/learn. They're all great in their own way. Micky's one of the best singers of all time in my opinion (fantastic emotional phrasing). Davy's got terrific showmanship and rocks at syrupy ballads (watch any of his live "I'll Love You Forever" videos). Mike and Peter are musical geniuses (Peter - instruments, Mike - song writing).

@elfhermie I never disliked them... yeah, Peter probably could read music too... a singer doesn't reall need to - it was a big turning point for the third LP when they performed all the instruments themselves...Have you seen the movie Daydream Believers? They had a wide range of styles, remember they were put together by the producers, not by themselves. Perhaps if they found another producer, or did their own production when the show was cancelled, things may have been interesting.

This is one of my all time favourite songs. So pretty!

This is one of my favorite Monkees clips. Just about the only thing that could have made it better would be, well, if Peter hadn't left. They all just look so happy and are having so much fun. It makes me smile every time I see it.
And in Nine Times Blue, their harmonies are soooo pretty. I wish they'd recorded this version.
