Daydream Believer FOR REAL

[bearpawly.livejournal.com]

Heresy!

Although I love both, I tend to listen to and enjoy the Monkees more. Still, if it wasn't for the Beatles, there wouldn't be a Monkees.

Please. Not like everything that the Beatles did was gold. Rocky Raccoon?

oh.... I have to agree I like the Monkees.

Ugh, I get annoyed just looking at the Monkees, let alone listening to them.

If the wimpy Davy Jones songs were removed, their albums would be universally recognized as classics.

Different Generation, I suppose. Do you feel the same about the Beatles? Perhaps its a genre thing.

Personally I get annoyed by most of the rappers on the planet.

One of these days I'm going to buy the two DVD sets of the TV show. It's not like it's on TV anymore.

Yeah, Davy was really the weakest link, music wise. He was the eye candy, while the others all had some musical ability. (Well, Davy was a song and dance man, but not a rock and roller) Still, Daydream Believer is one of the best known songs.

I prefer Pleasant Valley Sunday, though.

Actually, I like the Beatles, but that may be because I grew up listening to my parents' music. My mother loved Motown; my father enjoyed (what is now) classic rock. He had several albums by the Beatles, so I became accustomed to their music. In fact, my little brother (14 y/o) was at one time obsessed with Yellow Submarine, both the song and the "movie".

Another factor is the stigma I have attached to the Monkees. I don't remember their music very well, I will admit, but I do remember their television show, which rubbed me all kinds of wrong. It felt like a colorized musical version of the Stooges. So whenever I do hear the Monkees, I automatically think about their sitcom attempt and shudder.

Oh, and I'm also very picky about what rap I can tolerate. A lot of it annoys me as well. I'm much more of a reggaeton and hip-hop fan.
