And there goes Davy Jones from The Monkees.
A lot of people have said, and with some justification, that The Monkees were a manufactured band, the first of the 'boy bands'. But as a kid I didn't care about any of that. I loved the tunes. And later they started writing and performing thier own material some of which I thought was excellent.
In the early 80's, I suppose as a reaction to my hatred of all that Electro/New Romantic/Yuppie Music shit, I got into a whole load of 60's sounds including lots of psychedelia.
The Monkee's 'Porpoise Song (Theme from 'Head')' remains one of my favourite tunes.
