He just took the last train to Clarksville.

RIP Davey Joney.

Damn, enjoyed them growing up. RIP

Necessary to post again in honor of Davey and the Monkees... And who would've thought they could be so damn psychedelic...

I'll always remember my mother commenting on the difference between my sister and I as kids.

Walk into my room and there's a Black Sabbath poster on the wall and I'm listening to "paint it black" walk into my sisters room and she has Monkey posters and she's listening to "I want to hold your hand.

.

RIP. A pop icon from my childhood. Even as a 5 yr old kid I knew they weren't really playing those instruments, but you always knew Davey was really singing.

They were actually very accomplished musicians and fought for the right to do their own musical production. Dolenz was really the key voice in the band though.

I don't doubt it, but on that kids tv show they would just act it out in a pretty silly fashion.

I just found he was from the uk.

he was the best one too.

i should have guesed he was from the uk being so cool.

damn, the Monkees were the first band i knew about, i loved them. the first record i ever bought was Daydream Believer, my mom had taken me to the doctor for shots and rewarded me by taking me to the music store, the owner was a middle aged man, my problem was i was only 4 or 5 and had no idea what the name of the song was, i told him Sleepy Jean, he looked and couldn't find it - so then he asked me to sing it, oh jeeze, i was shy, but i sang the 'cheer up sleepy jean' part for him.

they were a very interesting little part of rock n' roll history - a band cast for a kids tv show with the best pop/rock songwriters of the era writing songs for them. they grew into a real band, sorta, but nobody took them seriously.

the songs have lasted, they have far more songs that are still played than real rock bands who were pretty big in their era.


ah man, that's sad, that Davey Jones is dead and he was 66! fuck i'm getting old.


this song is their best

I still see old Monkees episodes in syndication from time to time. Great stoner TV fair:



Never saw this one before:



ADG

You will find a few well known names in the USA that you might not know came from the UK unless someone told you such as Bob Hope ...and even Jerry Springer !:1orglaugh

Sad day indeed, RIP:Oh crap

Classic Neil Diamond song:)

i think everyone knows they are from the uk.

jerry springers family went to the usa thinking that there were less chance of wars.

half of laral and hardy, chaplin....

RIP Davey

A few of my favorite Monkee's tunes:

I liked the dirty sound on the guitar on Valleri, so I tried to distort my amp the same way (lol, I was like 12 years old):



Obscure anti-war song...



ADG

A few of the more obscure Monkees tunes which I enjoyed back in the day:



Paging Mr Bob Dobolina...Mr Bob Dobolina...



ADG

Rip rip :(

RIP Davey

Don't feel bad, I just found out The Call was from the US. :1orglaugh

I grew up watching them as well. Funny thing is I played them for my son on day when he was about 3 and every since they have been his favorite music.

Sad to lose a singer like that.

Part of my Teens. The whole package was so well tuned.

Strange times for music in the mid 60s, everything from Sinatra to Dylan and Hendrix.

Fuck, where is Axel Rose going to steal his moves from now?

RIP :Oh crap :Oh crap

Yet another rock legend dies before his time. What a sad world we live in.

Grew up watching the Monkees. Been sad all day... I guess the end of my era is about to begin.. RIP Davey............................................. .....................

Surprised he was only 66. Liked the show alot as a kid. some of this songs will play on forever
