A bonafide classic Gilliatt - 8/10

I can't believe it - a Monkees song I don't like. 2/10

This is more like it, though I've never seen a tambourine played with such a lack of gusto and awkwardness by Davy Jones in the vid.

For maximum happiness, the default position should be that the Monkees are crap - that way you're occasionally delighted.

That one's delightful (despite the embarrassingly talent-free Davy Jones) 8/10

Just because it was on the same YouTube page. And, actually for that Rickenbacker. I mean, look at that Rickenbacker.

feel a bit bad now. They've just announced that Davy Jones is dead. Heart attack.

I was looking at that vid too. Great song. I discovered it in the 80's. I was a late developer.

This is another one I liked of theirs. Great guitar.

Yeah, Paul - I went for that to mark the sad occasion: it was the only one that had Jones actually contributing

Ah Steppenwolf with another classic - though it could do with a slight modern remix

9/10


This one's another nostalgia bop - used to get played at the pub a lot

I liked that OP, a good choice for a “feel good” mood without the cheese. One can discern the influences on his music. The opening guitar brought George Harrison to mind. 7/10

RE: Davy Jones – Somewhat of an odd coincidence that I posted the Neil Diamond song yesterday and today I learned of Davy Jones death and that Neil composed some of the Monkees songs including I’m a Believer

Bootsy reigned supreme back in the Cliff when I played the role of the token white; a “brotha from anotha motha” so to speak, working at Bonanza Steak House…

I've always hated funk. 3/10

Youth of nausea, euthanasia!

Good pictures - didn;t like the song though. 3/10.

I remember these in the late 70's - warning swearing

I dug it, in a twisted sort of way. 7/10

Funny - 7/10

This really takes me back to the early seventies when i heard it on the radio. years later I rediscovered it on a pub jukebox and used to put it on every time I was in there.

Ah, George, my favorite Beatle. 9/10

10/10 Awesome, Sancho. I felt like I needed boots and a Lone Star to listen to that.

Now for something a bit different. A great singer and a great song:

El Sancho digs singer/songwriters 10/10 (El Sancho also likes to refer to himself in the third person - and in Spanish)

Now yer talkin’! A year or so ago, me and the old lady were down in Austin doing a Sixth Street crawl, ‘cepting I was wearing Chuck Taylors instead of Sh*t Kickers, and drinking Shiner Bocks instead of Lone Star Longnecks, and we were on 5th Street instead of 6th Street, but it didn't really matter because between the two of us we'd already consumed roughly 42 Shiners. Anyway we stumbled into Antone’s and saw this guy:
