| | The Monkees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Monkees found unlikely fans among musicians of the punk rock period of the mid-1970s. | | | All four Monkees were trained in both improvisational comedy and stage presence as a group before the pilot episode was filmed, so that they could look and act like a cohesive band even though it was only their voices being used on the initial recordings. | | | The Monkees, selected specifically to appeal to the youth market with their manufactured personae and carefully produced singles, can be seen as the original precursor to the modern proliferation of studio and corporation-created bands, or the modern boy band. |

| | Rhino has treated the Monkee catalog with a respect usually accorded for Charlie Parker outtakes, reissuing all of their original albums on CD with added unreleased/rare bonus tracks, and even assembling a box set. | | | Eventually the Monkees revealed that they didn't play on most of their own records, and Nesmith in particular incited the group to wrest control of their recordings into their own hands. | | | When enough years separated the music from the hype, the Monkees underwent a critical rehab of sorts, as listeners fondly remembered their singles as classy, well-executed, fun pop/rock. |

| | Despite these issues, The Monkees became teen idols, sold millions of records, and were heavily merchandised. | | | The Monkees, a situation comedy about a struggling rock-and-roll band of the same name, originally aired on NBC from 1966 to 1968. | | | The popularity of the show with contemporary youth audiences led to re-issue of recordings, fan conventions, and a concert tour by three of the original members. |

| | However, the songwriters and musicians that backed The Monkees, along with the talent of The Monkees themselves, caused the group to be musical success, and likely influenced a generation of young music listeners, myself included, and perhaps even many future musicians. | | | The Monkees were an oddity in the music world. | | | After all, if the Monkees were imitating the Beatles they were imitating the Beatles from the movie "Help!" rather than musically. |

| | Even the 'Monkee Theme' is fun - they open the record with a hushy scary 'here we come', and immediately proceed to make you happy as a little teenager (for whom the songs were actually intended) with the guitar jangle and the vocal harmonies and all the tasty, professional stuff. | | | The Monkees and their trusty songwriters lacked inspiration - and lacked that sparkling genius which made even the Beatles' filler so amazingly memorable. | | | Apparently, the Monkees used to not only fake their existence on TV and in the studio; they had to take a more active part in it by going out on tour and making nice fresh bucks for their employers. |

| | Originally this was to be a two album set with one side per Monkee, but when Peter left, it was condensed to one album. | | | It was first released on Headquarters, the Monkees first album after the ousting of Kirshner. | | | The full title of the album is "The Monkees Present Micky, David & Michael" (as in, The Monkees introduce.) This is proven by listening to the radio promotion on the Rhino reissue CD. |

| | The Monkees and The Four Swines reach the finals in a recording contest, whereupon, in an incident instigated by The Swines and their manager, Nick Trump, The Monkees' performance is interrupted by a rendition of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. | | | The Monkees later sing "Sometime in the Morning" to convince Millie's notion that all modern music isn't music. | | | The next morning, The Monkees find that all of their musical talent has deserted them—and gape in awe as they watch the monster perform, with their voices, a brief snippet of "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day" in his world premiere as The Swinging Android. |

| | Not only did The Monkees not play their own instruments on their earliest albums, but, with the exception of Mike Nesmith, none of them wrote songs for their earliest albums either. | | | The Monkees were simply supposed to perform their sketch and leave, but the meeting ran late. | | | From the beginning it was understood that The Monkees would not only perform in the sitcom for Screen Gems (the Columbia TV division), but that they would also perform on records for Colgems (the Columbia record division). |

| | They wanted to separate themselves from the *TV* Monkees and become an actual, independent group with complete creative control of their music and image. | | | Mostly, they admitted that it was written while under the influence of drugs. | | | Depending upon who you ask, it's either a great *work of art of the time* with deep social statements for the hip generation or it's the biggest piece of *crap* ever made. |

| | The Monkees TV show has been for a long time, and still is, one of my very favourite shows of all time. | | | The only one cast as a result of the ad, it turned out, was Nesmith; Jones was already under contract to Screen Gems, which wanted to place him in a series, while Dolenz learned of the audition from his agent and Tork had been referred by friend Stephen Stills. | | | I would love to have seen more of the "pre-fab four" group. |
