The Monkees - The Best of the Monkees (Full Album) [Official Video] | The Monkees Greatest Hits

[@islanddon865]

Today, February 29, 2024 is "Davy's Day" at our house. It's also the 12 year memorial of Davy's passing. Davy and I go back to the late 70s and early 80s in SoFla, when my brother and I owned a hotel, night club and tennis resort on Lauderdale Beach. Davy and l played tennis there together, making a very competitive men's doubles team. I remember and loved his easy going humor. I respected how generous he was with old fans who recognized him. And he was a big hit with my night club and hotel staff... always kind, always gracious. Unknowingly, millions of Daydream Believers around the World will be paying tribute to Davy today when they hear his marquis song, "Daydream Believer" as their minds drift back to the days of his Monkees' antics. Rest quietly my friend. As my years roll by quickly, l'm looking forward to picking up those racquets and heading to courts once again with you...on the "other side". With eternal honor and respect, Don M. Co-Founder, New Wave Lounge, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. (Facebook) ❤

I met The Monkees just when my father gave me a record player in 1968. Since then I bought all their records and still now, at the age of 68, I love their songs. Certainly they ware pre-fab, but they wanted to go farther, ... and made it!!! God be with David, Peter and Mike, and preserve Dolenz as far as possible with us!

I grew up with the Monkees since I was 13 years old and when they came on TV in 1966. I fell in love with them and to this day at 70 years old I still listen to their music. They had so,so many songs it's hard to choose. God Bless Davy, Pete and Mike who are playing their butts off in Heaven. God Bless for Micky to keep the Monkees legacy going on and performing for his fellow brothers. He is such a strong man and holding up for all of us to make sure we enjoy Monkeemania. Love you Micky and keep on singing and rockin away. We all love you A fan forever from Maine and thank you for the wonderful memories going.

I'm 67 and I remember when they were introduced to the world . atthetime they were called the "pre-fab four" in deference to the "fab four", The Beatles. unlike The Beatles they weren't musical pioneers who broke new ground but then they never claimed they did. they just continuously released strong, solid, well-crafted, bouncy and thoroughly enjoyable songs that still sound good 6 decades after they were recorded. how much music today will be around 16 years from now? or even 6?

The Monkees are my all time very favorite band. Always was and always will be. For all the groups that keep coming into the world of performing and entertaining people, none of them, will never, ever, be better than the Monkees, or just as good. And I don't ever, want to hear any of the Monkee's songs done by any other singers. Only the Monkee's music, sung by the Monkees only. The Monkee's music, belongs only to the Monkees, where it belongs. No one else could to do justice with it. It wouldn't be the same. It would be ruined. And yes, the Monkees deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. Peter is the love of my life since I was 5 yrs. old. I have it real bad for him. I love him so much I can't stand it. I miss him so much with him being gone. I constantly think of him, every...single...day. Every minute, every second of of every day, week, month and year. I love you so much Peter, darling.

We played Beatles, Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz and, of course, Monkees. For a long time, we were the only band on the alternative circuit that played Monkees' songs.

Still not ?? That's an insult, well, as long the parasites stole a lot of money over the backs of The Monkees. And even no star on the walk of Fame ?? I guess not even a star too. I'm a Dutchman and we don't get much to hear about these kind of info. They probably think that it's not important enough. What a shame, huh ?!

Jann Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone magazine has a lot of influence and is the one keeping them out of the R&R HOF.

Bad move !!!!! JOKING......Enjoy

[@saveferris1985]

Thank you! I love The Monkees!

[@gordonhamilton8827]

I first was introduced to the Monkees through rebroadcast of their show in the 1970s... They were fun then but as I grew up... the music became so beautiful to listen to. Pretty amazing to listen to this now in 2024 and love it... and also look forward to covers by modern musicians.

Nice. I actually had about three or four of the original Colgems singles passed on to me. Good stuff.
