@nopethegeek Its to bad that got that bad rap about using session musicians during those first two albums. Many of the major groups of the day were using session musicians like The Beach Boys, The Turtles, Mamas and Papas etc.
The Monkees albums have aged extremely well. Would be nice if they got their due.

@nopethegeek agreed! :)

The Monkees got a bad rap when it was revealed that session musicians played on their first two studio albums. They eventually seized creative control and recorded under their own terms. Check out "Headquarters" from 1967 to hear what they sounded like in the studio. They also did a live album in 1967 worth checking out.

@lanilindsey well they are pretty basic songs. :) He's playing true to the original recording and you're right - doing a good job at it while singing to boot.

@IstvanN1961 I don't think that's true. MD & DJ were probably the closest during the 60s. But all the Monkees feel a bond. In interviews, they always support and speak well of each other. I don't think they fought more than do other siblings, or band mates. But I detect real affection among them. To get corny, there seems to be some love there that comes from having a history together. I'm sure when they tour, they get on each others nerves at times.

Dolenz isn't bad on the drums... basic playing but he's singing and playing... impressive.

@jripperlives Really don't know your music do you?
-
@IstvanN1961 Actually "they" credit Peter as being "the glue" that held it together. Apparently he was the "bridge" person as far as talents and interests go... This might explain why the pretty much crashed and burned after he left. He was the first one to quit when the show was over.

it seems only davey Jones and Mickey Dolenz were the only two who got along.

Pretty darn good for old guys. Too bad it all imploded. Better band than people gave them credit for.
