Monkees
great downloads...very happy!
Sounds great!
Great sounding; priced reasonably.
Hey Hey They're The Monkees
Call them the prefab four if you want but they recorded some excellent singles. What's funny is that Davy Jones is supposedly the lead singer but almost all the great 45s they did have Mickey Dolenz singing lead.
Monkeys bring back old memories!
I have been waiting for months for emusic to have The Monkeys' CD's. With great song writers like Carol King and Neil Diamond, the Monkeys were destine to do well. This is a real deal! I especially enjoyed hearing the less well known, but terrific song, Shades of Gray!
Great Collection!
There are some essentials that I had to get from the other albums, but this makes a great start.
Basic Good Pop
If you look at the composers (Carole King, Neil Diamond, etc.) you can see why these songs made it to the top 40. If you want an idea of what basic good pop sounded like, not the iconic game changers, this is a good sample. These are the tracks that you want to own 1,2,3,5,6,12,14,18,20. That saves you 3 downloads. I was the target age when they were on TV and these are the songs I remember and like.
Time changes one's perspective.
Not their fault that i changed. Was disappointed to discover that my tastes have changed so much.
Worth the wait!
I am a big fan of The Monkees but I never found a single album that had all the songs that I wanted or that I didn't have to buy the whole album to get them. Well this album was worth the wait because it is complete and although I didn't have to buy the whole album, I did!

Six Degrees of The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds
By Rachael Maddux, eMusic Contributor
It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »
