THE MONKEES «DAILY NIGHTLY«
Parece ser que muchos descartan a estos chicos porque fue una «banda» hecha para una serie de television, pero un momentiño que aquí hay tela. Aunque no hay dudas que fue una banda pre-fabricada (1966), los chicos (Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith, Davy Jones y Micky Dolenz) se dieron cuenta de que eran una banda y comenzaron a pulirse, a aprender más música, a escribir sus propias canciones y a desarrollar un estilo que hasta marco pautas en la música de su época. Por ejemplo, Micky Dolenz fue uno de los primeros músicos de la década de los 1960 en adquirir un sintetizador Moog y lo uso, por primera vez en esta canción del disco de1967’s Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd., canción escrita por Mike Nesmith.

It seems that many people dismiss these guys because they were a «band» created for a television show, but hold on a minute here. Although there’s no doubt that they were a prefab band (1966), the guys (Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith, Davy Jones, and Micky Dolenz) realized they were becoming a band and started to refine themselves, to learn more about music, to write their own songs, and to develop a style that even set the standard in the music of their time. For example, Micky Dolenz was one of the first musicians of the 1960s to acquire a Moog synthesizer and he used it for the first time in this song from the 1967 album «Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd.», a song written by Mike Nesmith.

Micky Dolenz was Circus Boy for those who remember him.

I enjoyed watching ‘Corky’ before he became famous as a drummer in the Monkees – a group that was created in the hope that they would become the American Beatles.

Hehehe… Although I have come to appreciate some of their later works, and especially «Last Train to Clarksville», a song I still consider one of my faves, the Monkees never had a chance of even becoming the shadow of The Beatles!

I still listen to the Monkees because I like the music, but it was always my understanding that most of them were not real musicians. I could be wrong about that, but’s that what I always understood to be true.

It was true, but not all, Mike Nesmith was a musician and the others learned and became ones too. Their last 2 albums were done by themselves as musicians…
