I was a big Monkee fan as a kid. As I got a little older, it became fashionable to bash the Monkees. The “musically correct” types said they were a joke, they didn’t play their own instruments, yada,yada, but I still liked them.
Hard to pick just one favorite song of theirs, and of course I loved all the hits. (I’m a believer, pleasant valley Sunday, daydream believer, their theme song).
Two that come to mind: You Just May be the One and Sunny Girlfriend. Both written by Mike Nesmith, who was way more talented than he was given credit for.
Fun fact: Mike Nesmith mom invented Liquid Paper
