from my library (cd)
Never cared for the 2 year run of the tv show, but I did like the music. But then I never cared for the Beatles movies either. Stuff was just
too cheesy for me, even as a teenager. I guess the Monkees were one of the first boy bands. The tides of the british wave were still pounding
the shores but these boys managed to surface. The tv show took them to the top of the music charts and they couldn't even play their assigned
instruments. Four #1 albums in a row here beginning with their debut. This compilation covers most of the hits I remember. Surprised there were
only 3 #1's among the lot. I see album chart listings here, the UK, and Canada, but none for down under. Did they not make it to those shores
CH? Not much in the awards section above. Didn't know the Hit Parade was still around, and that Walk Of Fame thing must be for the tv show.
