I love the Monkees; this CD is a recopilation of most of their hits. Good buy.
May 4, 2008 |  | Enjoyed by our whole family |  |
It is hard to find music for our kids that the whole family will enjoy. We bought Best of the Monkees for our 9 yr old daughter for Christmas. We have had fun dancing and singing to all the music. She was surprised by how many of the songs she knew and how many I remembered.
January 18, 2008 Great cd collection , has most of their hits on it . The sound quality is as good as you can get from that era , the recording equipment back then was rudimentary at best so they have done a good job getting the best sound they could. The only dissapoinment was the straight mono version of A Little Bit Me, Little bit you . Definetly worth the money , you will be tapping your feet all day .
September 7, 2007I couldn't wait to buy this CD and boy do I regret it now. I was 7 when I first heard The Monkees and had a couple of their albums. Vinyl records are more memorable than this! In the Theme song it seemed muted. Last Train to Clarksville was what I remembered. I hated the few songs that Davey Jones sang on and Mike Nesmith is just too country. Spare your eardrums the monstrosity of Auntie Grizelda. Peter Tork sings flat and out of tune. I hate it now as much as I did when I was a kid. Some of the songs I never even heard of. There's also a Bonus Karaokee disk. Now I've Karaokee'd and I'm good, but this disk makes even me sound bad, and that takes some doing. All in all it's an UGH for me. After 2 plays I had to give it up. The Monkees, at least from my point of view, who was around when they first came out and used to sing with their albums should stay in the 60's where they belong. The Best of the Monkees? I have one word for that. NOT!
May 10, 2007 | | All in all, a very good collection... | |
I'm still more partial to the 1995 Greatest Hits collection (also on Rhino, released amidst their album-by-album reissue of their entire original catalog, crawling with bonus tracks on every disc)...this one stops at "Listen to the Band". The other collection has five fewer tracks but in my humble opinion provides a better overview including their two best singles from their 80s comeback: "That Was Then, This Is Now" from 1986's "Then & Now - The Best of The Monkees" and 1987's should've-been-huge "Heart & Soul" from the trio's "Pool It" album. Both fine songs that deserved to be included here...all in all, both are fine collections.
