Question

RIP Peter Tork. What is your favorite song by the Monkees?

Answer 1

All songs.

I heard recently that Last Train To Clarksville is about leaving for Viet Nam. Never knew that back in the day.

Answer 3

Answer 6

Daydream Believer is the one true answer

Answer 7

Oh, What a Night

Answer 8

I always enjoyed the Monkees. At one point they sold more records than the Stones and Beatles combined. I'm a Believer, Daydream Believer and the Last Train to Clarkesville stand out. They may have been created for TV but they were a great band, 100 % Rock N Roll history.



PS: Being a life-long resident of New Jersey, I think it is really interesting that the song Pleasant Valley Sunday was inspired by a NJ street. I bet the street sign gets stolen a lot!

Pleasant Valley Sunday. The lyrics have a deeper meaning than most people realize. It sounded as though the younger generation was SCREAMING for help, and saying that the "American Dream" wasn't enough.
