But if you listen to them now, their music stands up. It actually sounds better than many groups who were considered \u2018authentic\u2019 back then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Monkees\u2019 phenomenon began 50 years ago this week with the debut of the NBC TV show <em>The Monkees<\/em> on September 12, 1966. Inspired by the madcap antics of the Beatles in the movies <em>A Hard Day\u2019s Night <\/em>and<em> Help!<\/em>, TV producers Bert Schneider and Bob Rafelson created a show about a zany, struggling Malibu pop band.<\/p>\n<p>An ad went out in trade magazines seeking \u201crunning parts for four insane boys age 17-21 who have courage to work.\u201d More than 400 applied, including future stars Stephen Stills and Harry Nilsson. The four chosen were actors Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz, and musicians Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey didn\u2019t pick the best guitar player or song writer,\u201d Covach says. \u201cThey picked the best chemistry blend.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180872\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180872\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180872 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-09-06_Monkees_records_075-630x420.jpg\" alt=\"Collection of Monkees records photographed September 6, 2016 to illustrate University of Rochester story on the 50th anniversary of the debut of their NBC TV show. \/\/ photo by J.

Credit: J. Adam Fenster\/University Communications<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The show was an instant hit, with plots featuring gypsies, foreign princes, and mad scientists. Each Monkee played a role: Davy was the cute one, Micky the funny one, Mike the serious one, and Peter the quiet one. Viewers loved them. <em>The Monkees<\/em> won two Emmy Awards in 1967, including Outstanding Comedy Series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe show was fantastic,\u201d says Covach, coauthor of <em>What\u2019s That Sound: An Introduction to Rock and Its History<\/em>. \u201cThe Monkees were edgy and irreverent. They had great songwriters, studio musicians who were LA\u2019s best, and a legendary musical supervisor in Don Kirshner. The Monkees just sang on top it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Lennon of the Beatles called them \u201cthe greatest comic talents since the Marx Brothers,\u201d but the group\u2019s catchy songs soon overshadowed their hit show. <em>Last Train to Clarksville<\/em> was released a month before the show debuted and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top 100. The first album, <em>The Monkees,<\/em> spent 13 weeks at No. 1 until it was knocked off by &#8230; <em>More of the Monkees.<\/em> When the band reunited 20 years later, <em>The Monkees <\/em>spent another 24 weeks on the charts.<\/p>\n<p>In 1967, the Monkees outsold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined. They remain the only band with four No. 1 albums in a 12-month period. But while teenagers loved them, the critics didn\u2019t. They considered the quartet a manufactured group whose songs were written by hitmakers like Neil Diamond, Carole King, and Neil Sedaka. While the Beatles were dubbed the \u201cFab Four,\u201d critics mockingly labeled the Monkees the \u201cPre-Fab (as in pre-fabricated) Four\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Covach feels the criticism is unwarranted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElvis didn\u2019t write his songs or play an instrument, and neither did Frank Sinatra,\u201d he says. \u201cBut for some reason, critics held this against the Monkees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group eventually persuaded management to let them play their own instruments. Their third album, <em>Headquarters<\/em>, featured the Monkees at the controls. The TV band was now a real band. It was, Dolenz has said, \u201cas if Leonard Nimoy became a Vulcan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Monkees\u2019 hit machine included \u201cDaydream Believer\u201d, \u201cPleasant Valley Sunday\u201d, \u201cSteppin\u2019 Stone\u201d, and \u201cI\u2019m A Believer\u201d. By mid-1967, more people were buying their albums than watching their show, and the Monkees were tired of the weekly TV grind. After 58 episodes and two seasons, <em>The Monkees<\/em> was canceled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe show was a fad that targeted a teen audience still enamored with the moptop Beatles,\u201d Covach says. \u201cBut by 1968, the moptop Beatles seemed a million years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Monkees broke up in 1970 but have had various reunions through the decades, including one this year to celebrate their 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary. Missing is Jones, the most popular Monkee, who died in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Many have long considered the Monkees\u2019 music a guilty pleasure. But Covach is a believer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre they great artists who wrote their own music and changed the world? No,\u201d he says. \u201cIs there a masterpiece album like <em>Sgt. Pepper<\/em> or <em>Good Vibrations<\/em>? No. But they were a really, really good pop group. Anybody who thinks they might feel guilty listening to those Monkees hits should listen to them again. When they do, they\u2019ll realize those records are much better than they ever remembered them being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>10 little-known facts about the Monkees<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mike Nesmith\u2019s mother, Bette, was a divorced bank secretary who invented Liquid Paper in the 1950s. It originally was called \u201cMistake Out.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Legendary acid-rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix opened for the Monkees for seven shows during their 1967 tour. He quit in disgust when fans chanted \u201cWe Want Davy\u201d (for Monkee Davy Jones) during his performance.<\/li>\n<li><em>The Monkees\u2019<\/em> TV pilot in 1966 was the lowest-tested in NBC history. Producers reissued it to include screen tests of the charming four stars and audiences loved it.<\/li>\n<li>The song \u201cI\u2019m A Believer\u201d had an advance order of more than 1 million copies. It went gold before fans had heard a note.<\/li>\n<li>Nesmith wrote \u201cA Different Drum\u201d in 1967, but producers wouldn\u2019t let the Monkees record it. He gave it to a young singer named Linda Ronstadt, and it became her first hit.<\/li>\n<li>The Monkees were paid $450 each per episode during the first season and $750 each during the second season.<\/li>\n<li>David Bowie\u2019s real name is David Robert Jones, but he changed it in 1966 to avoid confusion with Davy Jones.<\/li>\n<li>The Monkees have broken up four times: 1971, 1989, 1997, and 2002. They\u2019re on tour, but Nesmith has stated this is his last Monkees stint.<\/li>\n<li>Fans voted \u201cDaydream Believer\u201d the Monkees\u2019 greatest song in a <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> survey. The song has been covered by the Four Tops, U2, and Susan Boyle of <em>Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/em> fame.<\/li>\n<li>According to <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> magazine, the three remaining Monkees were never in the studio at the same time while recording their latest LP, <em>Good Times.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1967, the Monkees outsold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined, and remain the only band with four No. 1 albums in a 12-month period. &#8220;Their music stands up,&#8221;
