@Goodie2shoes Oops I just started a thread too.

I was a Monkees fan from age 9-12...big part of my youth then. Still have my vinyl Monkee albums. ❤️🎶

Yes, only 78... .  RIP

R.I.P Mike Nesmith - he of the knitted wool hat.

Was thinking...that green wool hat should be in the Smithsonian or something...like Fonzie's jacket and things like that. So iconic.

the Monkees were one of my fave groups when I was a tween--actually went to one of their concerts here in Seattle in the 60's--could not hear anything as all those girls were screaming .....but so was I .. then watched their TV show too--I think it was on Nickelodean when my kids were young and they watched it too. i know Davie is gone, but is Peter still alive? will have to google---

@wagirl,

Peter died February 21, 2019. The only remaining Monkee is Micky Dolenz, and, he is 76 years old now.

I don't know why the Monkees aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Many of their songs and classics.

I have memories of watching their television show daily before I even started elementary.  Mom watched Dark Shadows first while I sat/hid outside then it was my turn for The Monkees.
