anybody as old as i am 52 who grew up with the Monkees?! I was 12 in 1966 when i discoverd them! I was so stoked about these guys! First it was Elvis! then The Beatles and then The Monkees! The Monkees were so cool, I had to have every teen mag with them, and bought(or rather my mom)bought for me their album!
There show was halarious for the era! I still love listening to their music, that's what makes me young! anyways just wondering if i'm the only Monkees fan on here?
Pam

Sure do!

i used to like them but i wasn't crazy for them, like i was & still am for Elvis & THE BEATLES

Sure do remember them, I like listening to them every so often.

rotf, I used to watch reruns when I was younger. They were alright but I liked the Brady Bunch better. lmao..when they were The Platters for some contest..aaaah, memories

I remember memorizing every word by listening to their 45 records over and over. I was in elementary school. Do reruns still air?

I like the Monkees better than the Beatles.

I was really little but I loved Daydream Believer!! I remember wanting my mom to call the radio station and ask them to play it! I was maybe 3 or 4.....I still love that song!

They were a TV show. They had some great writers and musicians who played for them. They were sort of The Milli Vanilli of their time. The only real musician was Michael Nesmith, who was with Linda Ronstadt and The Stone Ponies, and had a hit with "Different Drum". The other guys were actors, not musicians. Hollywood was just making a TV show based on The Beatles.

They were TV actors.

Please, don't even compare them with The Beatles. They had great writers and musicians to play for them. The only musician in the band was Michael Nesmith, they were the Milli Vanilli of the 60's

Should I say it again?

They were actors, but it was them singing. Davy Jones was a cutie!

Monkee Trivia:
1/ Michael Nesmith's mom invented "white out."
B/ Thankfully, Stephen Stills was turned down as a Monkee.
3/ A young guitarist opened for them on their first tour, Jimi Hendrix!
