It's been 10 years since Davy Jones became the first Monkee to leave us. "That was right out of the blue, because by all appearances he was in pretty good health," Dolenz says.

Despite all that, the Monkees did have their detractors. "Everybody has compared it to 'A Hard Day's Night' or said we were the Prefab Four, which is just not accurate," Dolenz says. "The show was about trying to become the Beatles, trying to be famous. We had a poster of the Beatles on the wall that we threw darts at. And on the show, we never mad...
By their third album, 1967's "Headquarters," the Monkees had won more creative control over the music, relying less on session players and outside writers. Nesmith was the only Monkee with a writing credit on the first two albums, placing one song on "The Monkees" and two songs on "More of the Monkees." Eight of 14 songs on "Headquarters" had membe...
