The Monkees are underrated. They may have started as a goofy band for a sitcom, but they did some very good work. -- nm

I was always a fan. I also always loved that on their first big tour Jimi Hendrix was their opening act. -- nm - pmb Dec 10, 10:03 4
- The Who opened for Herman's Hermits. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 10:11 3
  - I saw Heart and J Geils Band open for the Who. The Clash skipped Toronto the next tour that I saw them, dammit. Saw Duran Duran open for Bowie. -- nm - zork Dec 10, 10:25 2
    - Heart and JGB were the same concert not separately opening for them -- nm - zork Dec 10, 10:33 1
      - Now that's a good show. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 10:53
They were better than the band they were imitating. - The Allfather Dec 10, 10:02 24
- Were you raised under high voltage lines? -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 10:10 14
  - No, but I was born with ears. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 10, 10:13 13
    - They're supposed to be plugged *in*. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 10:16 12
      - People always think I'm joking about the Beatles. I think it's a shitty musical sound. - The Allfather Dec 10, 10:18 11
        
        Woah, woah, woah, now don't go dragging 98 Degrees into this. -- nm - Dano Dec 10, 11:03
        
        like, you don't like ANY Beatles songs???? -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 10:43 6
        
        I like Hey Jude, Oblidi, Oblida, and Live and Let Die. That’s the list…and I prefer the GNR version of Live and Let Die. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 10, 10:54 5
        
        You're crazier than I am. I don't like any Beatles after 1965. -- nm - Max Dec 10, 11:01 1
        
        I mean, by mistake, I think you would like at least 10 songs. -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 11:01
        
        any of the Beatles solo stuff? -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 10:55 2

        Can you at least acknowledge that they improved recording techniques? -- nm - zork Dec 10, 10:28 2
        
        I acknowledge that as they got more powerful and drug-obsessed, they tried some daring stuff. But their sound is still shrill and tinny to me. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 10, 10:31 1
        
        Not just "experimental" things but multi track recording, etc. -- nm* - zork Dec 10, 10:34

    - That's how punk rock was born -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 10, 10:20
    - To each their own, not meant in a snarky way. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 10:12
    - Oh I believe you. I just cant believe it. I love the Monkees too though. -- nm - Jovian Dec 10, 10:11 1
      - So you might say he's a believer? -- nm - JD Dec 10, 10:25
