Hey Jude is my 5 year old son's favorite song. I'm serious on this; he's known the words since he was four, and every time I play music, he wants to hear it and asks for it my name. I think it's probably their BEST song, not the worst...

BTW, McCartney and Lennon fought like cats and dogs over the line 'the movement you need is on your shoulder.'

....running for cover now! Shocked

The Monkeys? Roll Eyes

They weren't even a real f#@$ing group!

Yes they were. Granted, they were created for the TV show, but they did do concerts. And they played good tunes.

It's spelled Monkees. http://www.monkees.net/
Inspired by the Beatles first films. They should have been good tunes as they were written by top musicians & songwriters. Pleasant enough to listen to but hardly influential.

Not to mention, the MONKEES (I stand corrected Tongue

) actually were created by Don Kirshner. The Monkees were one of the first attempts to manufacture Rock-n-Roll. Thanks to them, we now have focus groups choosing our music for us instead of actual artists creating it...

Notwithstanding the spelling police.... Roll Eyes

I'm aware they were a manufactured group, AND their music was composed and recorded by studio musicians, I STILL enjoy their music nevertheless. In fact, I'd prefer listening to Monkeys music (miss-spelling intentional) to Beatles music! Cheesy

My point was that Monkees is deliberately misspelled like Beatles although nothing like as original. In fact just like their music. Tongue

Thanks Kevin, I remember correctly now, it was Phil Spector for the wall of sound thing. Don't know anything about his murder trial.

Coincidently here, just yesterday I found out from the CPA that I work for that he, at age 8, in early 1964, when the Beatles were here in Miami prepping for their Ed Sullivan Show debut, actually met and spent a few hours with them. His father had something to do with set design, and I saw a photo of the Beatles sitting and getting made up for the show, with his father right behind Paul, and Ed Sullivan in the background.

I've always like the Beatles but, I like the cover versions of some of they're songs better!!

Aerosmith - " Come Together "

Joe Cocker - " With A Little Help From My Friend " & "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window "

Crosby, Stills & Nash - " Blackbird "
