The Monkees will always have their place in people's hearts, whether they are induced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or a star at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, or not. I used to want to be one of those guys, hey-hey we're The Monkees!!

And with a deeply moving fan storyline underscoring it all- I LOVE those ladies!

With the recent death of Mike Nesmith, it hits home with some of us "Boomers." They were were two years before my birth time of 1950. I'm seeing the exodus of my generation of the big brothers who made music history. We were well aware that it was a TV show, and none of us cared they supposedly couldn't play an instrument. The was a breakout from our father's WWII TV shows with Lawrence Welk playing WWII hits, or the country music heroes, that believe me, I DID notice and watched Johnny Cash and the Carter Family make legendary music in real time. Yeah, it was bubble gum music, we KNEW that, but we watched anyway. I was learning to play electric guitar, and that show had guitars and amps neither me nor my family could afford. Mike Nesmith was a real musician, and even then I could tell that because he didn't just "mime" the guitar parts, he made a point of playing the real chords on film, a secret code to us players, that he was giving us a message that. he wasn't a bought and sold commodity. I watched that show, but among us "heads," we would not admit that. How many people in our time even know what a "HEAD" WAS." A "head" was someone who smoked pot or had done LSD. What Hendrix meant by "are you experienced?" Like my WWII military Dad, we are now seeing the heroes of our generation, leaving the planet and we are next. The Monkees were commercialized versions of what we represented, which were the hate for war, the love of Peace and unity. Now we live in this horrible time when the idea of America has been destroyed by those who want us to live under a hateful dictatorship cult, and to destroy Democracy and turn us all against eachother, giving them total power over our lives. Am so glade my Dad isn't here to see where we are headed.....

They mentioned in the video that the Monkees band was done but it was only missing one member Davy. But in future show his spirit was there. Even after Peter passed away they were doing shows. Mike & Micky has just finished some concerts it was only a few months after that Mike passed on. The Monkees live forever in the hearts of their fans. We are lucky to have their TV show and their music. That makes them live forever.

This was a group who knocked the Beatles out of the top spot on the chart at one point during the 60s run. Not only did they do that, but they outsold many of the legendary artists of that time who are in the ROH. The Monkees represent the culture, vibe, and history of one of the most influential decades of our time as much as any other group of iconic musical acts of the 60s. The intrinsic value of their medioric rise to become a pop culture phenom is in itself enough for them to garner admission. The fact that they had chart topping hits is the bonus that cements it. They did something no one has ever done before. They went from being manufactured tv story about a group to becoming a real chart topping act. Indeed and I say it again, pop culture icons. Not only is the tv show one of our classic gems, but their music still lives as a treasure to all who continue enjoy the nastalgia of the decade of change which is the 60s. Mickey, Mike, Davy and Peter. Four guys who for a half an hour every week entertained us with comedy and their voices. Four guys who became more than what was expected. Four musician/actors who became icons. Beloved by all, including the Beatles who gave their seal of approval long ago. That alone should say it all. As for the ROH, they only recently admitted the GoGo's. Like them or not the significance of the first all female self contained bands ommission by the ROH for so long tells you all you need to know. It's a total disgrace and a travesty that they have not been admitted yet. And now there is only one left. Let's pray that the one surviving member will be able to experience what his comrades never did and that he will get to carry the tourch lighting the way for the other 3 to see the honor, love and respect by an industry that they helped to make strong...

Oh Dear God! How I loved Davy Jones!!!!! My first deep heartfelt, CRUSH. I was about eight or nine, maybe younger. Innocent and lovely.

They were (and are) talented people. As far a changing music, no that would fall to a number of mis-sixties groups....but the Monkees did have a profound effect on TELEVISION.

Something about the Monkees was that they didn't realise how brilliant they were.

40:00 Totally ignored *Mike Nesmith & The First National Band* and the hits, "Joanne" and "Silver Moon" in 1970.

As usual, their solo careers are glided over quickly as are the last years of the Monkees themselves. No mention of Peter leaving first then Mike and finally the last two calling it a day. It's like 1969 & 1970 never existed. Very common even in good Monkees documentaries.

I was a big fan. Still have all their LP's. Nesmith didn't tour with them when they started doing gigs again; I suppose it was probably because he didn't need the bread. After all, his mother invented the greatest office tool since the paper clip.......liquid paper! I heard that Jimi Hendrix opened for the Monkees once. Is this true?

Actually the reasons why Michael didn't initially tour with them weren't solely about his lack of need for money. In fact he was supposed to take part in the 1986 revival but his other work commitments didn't always permit him to take part.

I missed the whole experience because of my age and the TV show running at night. I did hear the tunes on the radio. later on 1969 i saw the re-run on saturdays with out new Colour TV that made a big difference from a B&W. But, in 1966 B.C. ( Before Cable) we only had two local channels and up to 3 New York State channels on a god day with our aerial and no bad weather.Wow , 1966 when all you pid for was the TV and the rest was free through the air.Now even Radio costs money and TV too.

I know, its insane that they're not in the hall. I mean even Elvis didn't write his own material. The bottom line is that the Monkees recorded a lot of timeless songs and sold a massive amount of records. That is more than many who are in the hall of fame.
