  • Davy Jones, dead at 66.

    Either he was younger than he looked, or The Monkees aired later than I thought.
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

      I will always argue that The Monkees were better than the Beatles. Few agree, but stuff 'em.

        I wouldn't go quite that far, but the difference was no where near as much that most think.
        It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

          Bugs, that has to be a troll. Underrated, sure. But please.

              Troll? I'm serious. The Monkees had a great run of brilliant pop songs, and never did anything as embarrassing as "All together now".

              The Beatles had some great songs, but one hell of a lot of filler.

                  1968. The Monkees had posters all over the place reading "The Monkees give you Head" and were releasing stuff like this-




                  Meanwhile the Beatles were turned into a cartoon and wittered about Yellow Submarines. 12-year-old girls must be more sophisticated than I thought.

                    At the very least it expains your irrational hatred of Sting.

                      First run or second run? Me, I was strictly first run.

                        didn't even know there were 2 runs, probably the 1st - back in the mid to late 60s

                          The Monkees were factory made by Hollywood. Their material was written by others, including Carol King and Neil Diamond. The Beatles wrote their own stuff.

                          The powers that be shipped Elvis off to Germany because they didn't like where his material was going, all that hip-swinging and raw sexuality. They brought in The Nelson Bros., Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkle to replace The King, but the Nelson Bros grew up and the rest became COMMIES!!!!! So they went over the Atlantic and brought over The Beatles. What the heck, the Fab Four wore suits, they couldn't be that bad - but the arrival of The Beatles established a beachhead for more of their lot, The Who, The Rolling Stones, etc, etc and they were like COMMIES with The King's raw sexuality. Finally Hollywood decided to fabricate their own safe musical group - The Monkees.

                            I guess he's already got a locker waiting for him...
                            Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

                              Except that Mike Nesmith was the only true musician in the group.
