While they didn't play, Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork were accomplished musicians...

They most certainly DID sing...

The Monkees (album - Wikipedia)

All of the Beatles, especially Lennon were fans. Especially of their TV show. Lennon stated they were the greatest comedy team since the Marx Brothers...

Nesmith appeared in the "A day in the Life" promotional video and Paul and Dolenz were friends...

They often showed up at each other's recording sessions...

I remember watching all of The Monkees reruns on t.v. and listening to their songs. I had a crush on Davy Jones. I'm a Believer was my favorite Monkees tune.

Beyond childhood I don't recall ever going out of my way to play or listen to their music but when I do hear one of their songs now it brings back fond memories. How could anyone not like The Monkees?

Marx Brothers were incredible comedians. Best movies ever.

Loved the Monkees! Had the pleasure of seeing the Mike and Micky Show in NJ in October. Still many devoted fans giving standing ovations and Mike really soaked it in.
Favorite Monkee song, The Girl I Knew Somewhere.
All ages of fans because after the original airing, it was on Saturday mornings, and then MTV played a Monkees marathon in 1986 and another wave of Monkee fans was born.
RIP Mike
