I watched a few episodes when I was little, they were fun.

It's too bad.

When I was very young I was taken to a Monkees reunion concert.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Aye, I remember enjoying the show as a kid, probably reruns by then, but good none the less.

Still like Daydream believer today, so yeah, sad news.

They were a massive influence on the Beatles.

The actual song on the album was song by Michael Nesmith and sounds a lot different, but in honor of his passing I'll post this rare version of If I Ever Get to Saginaw, one of the lesser known but better Monkees songs, sung by Davy Jones.

Even though the Monkees were well well before my time, I’m very familiar with the re-runs of their TV show (which was awesome). I always liked Davy Jones as he showed the most pride for being in the group.

Tis a sad day.

Last Train to Clarksville was my favorite Monkees song.

Good-bye Davey.

The Monkees really were a fun group, despite being manufactured for a TV show.

They really seemed like a good group of guys who had a lot of fun performing.

Plus, the guy had a 33 year old wife, so he was doing pretty well.

Mickey Dolanz once said it was kind of cool how they turned into an actual band with albums being put out during the course of the show, almost as strange to him as if Lenard Nimoy would have turned into an actual Vulcan during the filming of Star Trek.
