A n'er-do-well did a grab-n-go out of our Suburban. Included was 'Headquarters'. I ordered another copy immediately. I venture to say 'Headquarters' would be labeled an indie pop masterpiece had it been released now by a bunch of no names. And, in a lot of ways it was the 'first' album by this bunch of no named musicians who happened to have a hit TV series in the bank. You are the Monkee's equal on this album, they've invited you into the studio--not attempted to baffle you with boloney.

This was the Monkees third album. It was the first one on which they played the majority of the instruments. Many people consider it to be the best Monkees album. There are a lot of great songs here, and no real stinkers. Some of my personal favorites include "You Told Me", "For Pete's Sake", "Sunny Girlfriend" and "Randy Scouse Git". The CD adds six bonus track of varying quality.

I have been a big Monkees fan from day one. This may not be the best album in the world, but to me its my all time favourite album by any anybody.
Its so different from their first 2 albums, where top studio musicians created the monkees sound, and not over produced as their later albums. It has an innocence about it that makes it such a great CD.

Hey Hey! I have no use for any heavy interpretation of their music, nor any deep analysis for who did what when....for me, it's just Mickey, Davey, Mike and Peter...they were the best at the time I fell in love with them. I have no idea what they are doing now (well, David Jones is doing those annoying info-mercials, but ya gotta make money somewhere...). Regardless, there are many warm memories from my teen years associated with these guys, and so I carry my devotion forward into adulthood. All of my original albums were lost in a terrible house-fire in December 2003, so I am slowly replacing my lost musical memories with purchases of CDs. These four guys mean the most to me, and a few of my sisters as well as we age and go forth into our adulthood years; the carefree freedom of our youth is embodied in the The Monkees. I hope they are happy, warm, and healthy, whereever they are in this world...

Why is it that when someone talks about the Monkees they general give positive reviews but have to qualify their statements by adding, "They'll never be the Beatles, blah blah blah"?
Who even cares? I've listened to Sgt. Pepper a dozen times and have to say this: Sgt. Pepper was a bloated, over indulgent piece of mediocre Beatles music. It was not the best thing the Beatles ever did, and is far over rated. Now, Headquarters by the Monkees (which was released roughly the same time as Sgt. Pepper) was (and is) a wonderfully crafted bit of pop/rock/country music and has stood up very very well over the years. It's an honest piece of music and should never have been overshadowed by the Beatles over blown "masterpiece". Don't get me wrong, I am a Beatles fan from way back, but Sgt. Pepper quickly lost it's glow, where Headquarters by the Monkees still shines brightly for me. Listen to Headquarters for yourself, if you're the least bit interested in the Monkees, and for god's sake, stop comparing it to the Beatles.
