Biography

Formed primarily for the purpose of starring in a television series, the Monkees (Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork) were devised to cash in on the early Beatles' success by applying the most superficial aspects of the British Invasion formula to capture a preteen audience. However, they weren't devoid of musical talent, and at their best managed to craft some enduring pop/rock hits like [roviLink="MC"]"I'm a Believer," [roviLink="MC"]"Last Train to Clarksville," [roviLink="MC"]"Pleasant Valley Sunday," [roviLink="MC"]"Stepping Stone," and [roviLink="MC"]"Daydream Believer," all of which were pleasantly jangling harmony rock numbers with hooks big enough for a meat locker. ~ Richie Unterberger
