Ok, I must admit that I have been a big Monkees fan since I was a kid....and
still am!
I would say that "Headquarters" & "Pices, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones" are
classics. The first two("The Monkees/More Of The Monkees") are great too but
the above two have more depth.
"The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees" and "Head" are pretty great too.
After that things were pretty patchy.
Of course the "Missing Links" collections are great too.
Hey, you're talking to a guy who has the Rhino Handmade's "The Complete
Headquarters Sessions"....so I guess I am a pretty good Monkees fan.
Hey! Would Art Carey please e-mail me off list. I lost your personal e-mail
address!
