Monkees vs Beatles

[Darkowl]

The Monkees are a novelty band with a few catchy songs. Nothing more.

 

The Beatles changed the way people played and listened to music forever. They also didn't need anybody to write their music for them.

[Chicago Boy]

Interesting tidbits:

 

Peter Tork played on George Harrison's album WOnderwall (guitar) and Frank Zappa asked Micky Dolenz to be the drummer for the Mothers of Invention post Monkees

Worst mismatch since Bambi vs Godzilla.

[Jeffro.]

I liked when Davy Jones showed up on the Brady Bunch and The New Scooby Doo Movies

[KPR Comics]

 

Clearly The Rutles were better than both.

Not to be an , but does this belong in here? It sounds a heck of a lot like a Water Cooler topic and not a Comic Related Movies, TV, and Video Game thread.

Hump the button if it upsets you so much.

Daydream Believer, Last Train to Clarksville, Hey-Hey We're the Monkees.

 

OK, now that those are out of the way... name a Monkees song.

 

I'm a Believer written by Neil Diamond and sung by Micky Dolenz was a great song...

 

Stepping stone was a big hit too! Let's be honest though. The Beatles were, or should I say still are the biggest most influential band in the history of music.

When I was 15, I bought the Monkees greatest hits on CD. The cashier made fun of me for it.

Last night I wanted to watch some Beatles vids on the roku/YouTube. I kept getting this over and over:

"This video contains content from UMG_MK. It is not available in your country."

 

Oh, and an internet pull to keep it thread-worthy...

Lovin these Monkees and Beatles Comic pics. Was reading that the Beatles threw the Monkees a party in 1967 when they came over to England and invited them into the recording sessions for Sgt pepper apparently they were fans of at least the TV show

That's a great book!

And it was the first #1 hit for them...I also liked 'I'm not your stepping stone" which went to #20 in 1967

 

Stepping stone is an awesome song. Plus covered by the Sex Pistols

Mary Mary written by Michael Nesmith was covered by RUN DMC in the 80's Just announced this morning that The Beatles releasing a Blu Ray of Sqt Pepper recording session for Day in the Life. In the video you see Mick Jagger and The Monkees present at the recording.

This thread inspired me to watch "VH1's Behind the Music: The Monkee's", on Youtube yesterday.

"The local rock group down the street Is trying hard to learn their song"

 

"See Mrs. Gray she's proud today because her roses are in bloom"

 

I don't know why, but I always find myself singing these verses. Catchy, catchy, catchy.

[Chicago Boy]

The cool guitar introto that song was written by Chip Douglas (Monkees producer at that time) from The Turtles. Original song didn't have it. The catchy piano intro piece to Daydream Believer was written by Peter Tork

[Darkowl]

Very cool! I've been meaning to learn that part on guitar actually.
