The Video Vault of Mora Tau 3/7/13!

I've had the Monkees on my mind recently - I've loved those guys since I discovered the TV show in reruns after school. As I've listened to more and more of their music - I am impressed that they worked together as they did - with four distinct musical styles taking turns in their songs.

With that in mind let's dig up what I consider the best song from each of the four Monkees. These choices may change next week - but right now these are my choices.



Davy Jones
"Daydream Believer"












Peter Tork
"Your Auntie Grizelda"












Mike Nesmith
"Some of Shelly's Blues"












 
Micky Dolenz
"Goin' Down"










Man I love the Monkees!









Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

    You made my heart beat faster. I just loved these guys and could listen to their music over and over. what a fantastic group and I still watch their show, laughing all the while. It's still funny.

      It is - I have in the last couple of months added both TV seasons and the movie Head to the video vault - so we are fully prepared for a Monkees Marathon at any time!

    I love the Monkees! I watched their show back in the 60s when I was in grade school. They were so groovy! Mike was my fave back then because I liked the laid back, quiet type. And I loved his signature cap. When I got older, I dug Micky the most. My fave Monkees tune is Last Train to Clarksville. Thanks for the memories.

      Worthy choices all around! I am a Mike fan myself, though all are terrific entertainers. Last Train to Clarksville totally rocks!

    I love the Godzilla pic too! The Monkees could never work as solo acts. They're awesome as a group.

    I agree: Monkess were just awesome, their solo work not so much.
