I just loaded up my mp3 player with classic Monkees tunes.

Ain't NUTHIN' like boppin' down the sidewalk with "Zilch" and "Gonna Buy Me A Dog" runnin' through yer earbuds.

NUTHIN'.

No need to take MY word for it:

[leeroysphitz]

2. Cool!m I just filled my player up with Partridge family and Iron Butterfly songs!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

5. Come on, get happy!

I still like The Cowsills much better- they were the real life models for the Partridges. The youngest one (I can't recall his name at the moment) was killed in Katrina.

Oddly enough, I was just listening to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida earlier in the evening, debating which version was better- the studio or live concert version. Personally, I like the concert MUCH better.

And Davy was a pretty close runner up

[skooooo]

7. Monkees music is way under-rated...

I like Papa Gene's Blues and Auntie Grizilda myself!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

10. Hell, I've known that for years.

They did a LOT of great music in the day.

[bbernardini]

13. Indeed...just look at the writers they had:

Tommy Boyce
Bobby Hart
Gerry Goffin
Carole King
Carole Bayer Sager
Neil Sedaka
Neil Diamond
Mike Nesmith
Barry Mann
Cynthia Weil
Harry Nilsson

And that's just for starters...

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Server made me post twice

:grr:

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. make that three times

aaarrrggghhh...

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

11. I've noticed the server resetting itself frequently for a while now.

DU crashes and burns from time to time- it's been a while since it happened. Perhaps it's upon us again?

Either that or Agent Mike is pushing buttons again... :shrug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. RNC Conspiracy!

[Maccagirl]

14. Pleasant Valley Sunday is such a solid piece of work

I was the perfect age for the Beatles and Monkees-I really do feel blessed sometimes.

[Blue-Jay]

15. Neil Diamond wrote some good tunes for that fake band.

[undeterred]

16. Davy Jones singing 'Shades of Gray'

Yeah, that was such a "grown up" song...
