I never in my life thought I would agree with Bill O'Reilly about anything but he's right about this. Yes, it was a TV show first and then they became a band: they put out records, they did concerts. They weren't lip syncing to some else's voice. Jan Wenner is just a music snob and that's NOT what rock music is about.

Rock and roll reached its prime in 1967/8 prior to Rolling Stone going into publication. Rolling Stone was at the helm of steering the genre downhill ever since with its pretentious opinionated BS. Today, rock n roll is dead. RS saw to it that the first element to go was good-time rock and roll that was meant just to cheer people up, not necessarily make a "profound" statement.. Rolling Stone ridiculously tried to pass off rock n roll as a replacement for philosophy and literature. RS = BS..

@jpsmart59 Rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame is a spook operation.

Rock n roll, 1952- 1977, R.I.P. ...lol

I bet he's had more ass than the toilets at Yankee Stadium.

I absolutely loved The Monkees!!! I had all their albums growing up and even saw them in concert. They were awesome and I still sing their songs in my head. Heck they even used one of their songs on the movie Shrek. They belong in the rock n roll hall of fame. I loved them all especially Davy Jones <3

They're hard working rockers and have continued to entertain. We'll all be dead some day - what will it matter HOW they came to be. Give them their well deserved due already.

@altosame False, plenty of bands before the Stones were using music to communicate philosophy. Remember a band known as Frank Zappa and The Mother of Inventions? Zappa introduced a whole form a music satire aimed at apathetic hippies. He wanted people to get off their butts and do something. He constantly encouraged his audience members to vote as soon as they could. This was in 1966, mind you. Music is music, you SHOULD be saying something with it.

[VesperATOM]

Hell's frozen over kids, because I actually agree with Bill O'Reilly on something.

@soundvisionary13 where you drunk when you wrote this crap

[AnitaLife27]

These guys DEFINITELY should be in the Hall of Fame. They have earned their right...they didn't just show up as actors, and go through the motions. They became a legitimate singing group and have been performing for years a the Monkees and as themselves. They are all very talented. Let the people decide. Rolling Stone needs an serious attitude adjustment!

[soundvisionary13]

The Rock & Rock Hall of Fame is the most ridiculous thing ever invented. Do you think a band starts out thinking,"I'm going to write an album of songs,then become famous and hopefully someday my ultimate goal is to get in the R N R Hallo f Dead people.Like wanting to be born so you can have a fancy grave stone.I think it should be an honour that they they refuse to choose you because THEY,of all people(Hall of fame) are not Rock. As for the Monkees,they eventually took control & made a LP & film
