Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good But Not Really Essential
Twelve songs on this greatest hits compilation. It seems as if there are other compilations with more songs.

Nonetheless, there are some good tunes here. Day Dream Believer is my favorite on here but I appreciate several others(I'm Not Your Stepping Stone, I'm A Believer, Last Train To Clarksville). Somehow knowing that the Monkees were a TV band and that the music was recorded by session musicians make me not think too highly of these guys as compared to say the Beatles, Stones, ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Don't listen to the other reviewers, thsi CD rocks!
The Monkees are arguably the second greatest band from the sixties, behind the Beatles of course. This CD has a wonderful selection of good Monkees songs. I am only twelve, but I love old music. Elvis, Bobby Darin, the Beatles, the Monkees, Jackson 5, James Brown, the Beach Boys, Little Richard, I love 'em all. This is a great Monkees CD so get it.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good but not essential
This is a good collection. However, Headquaters and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones Ltd. are the real essentials. Many popular hits are here to make it a good collection. The one thing that really keeps it from being essential is that while all the Monkees wrote songs for the group it is Nesmith who wrote the most. Yet there is no Nesmith penned tune on the CD. They should have had "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" on the CD as Nesmith wrote it and it was the first song release that was written ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Worthless.
Don't be fooled by the title. Hey Rhino, don't blow your reputation.

Start with the "Greatest Hits" CD. If you want more, pick up "Headquarters" and "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones."



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Anything but essentials
If something is Essential it is a MUST HAVE like something you have to have and this cd is definatly not a must have. While it stands in my collection the most untouched cd unless i want to play "For petes sake" and amazon says that "randy scouse git" is on this cd but its not don't be fooled. And for some strange reason Rhino put this totally freaky version of "pleasant valley sunday" in which Micky sounds as if he has a terrible cold. And shoot they might as well cut the pictures of Mike off the whole ... Read More
