I'll add my vote for Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd. The Door Into Summer, Words, and Love Is Only Sleeping are all brilliant. For me, this album was clearly their best work.
I'd give second place to Head. I don't mind the audio clips from the film at all, and some of these songs are just great, especially Porpoise Song, As We Go Along, and Circle Sky (esp. live version).
Third place to Headquarters, a major achievement for the band. Cool songs, too.
> As for The Monkees, the Justus album and subsequent UK tour still leaves no official video document of the four of them playing together live. Even the Justus home video includes no live footage (but, maddeningly, does include on-stage intros of the band from their Internet-broadcast Justus show).
I know it wasn't live, but didn't they all perform together in the reunion episode that aired on ABC? And in videos (e.g., Regional Girl) they made for the Justus album? I guess that's as close as you'll get.
> So that's still my top VH1 Reunion request: get Micky, Davy, Peter
and Mike to perform a live show for the cameras...and let ME get to see it!
That would be great, even an Unplugged show of them would be something to see!
Hey Robbie White - what do you have to add? : - )
Be seeing you,
Bill
p.s. Mike Bennett, thanks for your work on the poll!! There are a few albums I'm going to need to check out...
