Our Take

The Monkees may have started off as a manufactured boy band, but don't let that fool you - their music has stood the test of time. The Definitive is a collection of their greatest hits, showcasing their infectious melodies and playful lyrics that have made them a household name.

From the iconic theme song "Daydream Believer" to the psychedelic sounds of "Pleasant Valley Sunday," The Monkees deliver hit after hit on this album. Each track is a time capsule of 60s pop perfection, with catchy hooks and harmonies that are guaranteed to get stuck in your head.

But what sets this compilation apart is the band's cheeky sense of humour and self-awareness. Songs like "Last Train to Clarksville" and "I'm a Believer" may be quintessential bubblegum pop, but there's a subversive edge to their lyrics that adds depth to their catchy choruses.

With their blend of rock, pop, and humour, The Monkees have carved out a unique place in music history. The Definitive is a must-have for any fan of 60s nostalgia and a reminder of why this band continues to be beloved by music lovers of all ages. So put on your paisley shirt, grab a tambourine, and let The Monkees transport you back to a time of carefree fun and infectious tunes.

About the artist

The Monkees

The Monkees may have started as a manufactured group, but they quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the wild and wacky world of 1960s pop music. Formed in 1966 for a television show about a fictional band, the Monkees soon became a real-life phenomenon, churning out hit after hit and capturing the hearts of fans around the globe. With their infectious blend of pop, rock, and psychedelia, the Monkees crafted a sound that was as unique as it was catchy. From the jangly guitars of "Last Train to Clarksville" to the dreamy harmonies of "Daydream Believer," their music was a heady swirl of melody and mischief that captivated audiences and critics alike. Despite facing criticism for their manufactured origins, the Monkees proved themselves to be serious musicians in their own right. With members like Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith each bringing their own talents to the table, the band's sound was eclectic and endlessly entertaining. Over the years, the Monkees have enjoyed a rollercoaster ride of success and turmoil, with breakups, reunions, and tragedy all playing a part in their tumultuous history. But through it all, their music has endured, standing the test of time and cementing their legacy as one of the most iconic bands of the swinging sixties. So, next time you feel like taking a trip down memory lane, why not put on a Monkees record and let their infectious tunes transport you back to a simpler, groovier time? Just remember, as the old saying goes: "Hey hey, we're the Monkees, and people say we monkey around" - and we wouldn't have it any other way.
