Wow! They should’ve changed this quiz from name that Monkees tune 🎵, to name that Mickey Dolenz tune. Almost all of these songs were sung by Mickey Dolenz, only “Salesman” which was a Mike Nesmith tune, all the rest were Mikey Dolenz songs. What about “I Wanna Be Free”, that was a good one by Davey Jones, or one of my favorites “Papa Genes Blues” sung by Mike Nesmith. I liked Mike Nesmith’s songs the most.

10/10.... Caught monkees fever in the 80s as a 10 yr old. Even saw the reunion tour with hermans hermits and gary puckett at texas rangers stadium. Sad that all but 1 are gone.
That was when I caught Monkees fever too. I was born in 1971, so I'm a little too young to have experienced Monkee mania the first time around, but I was in my mid-teens during this reunion.
I was born in '64, but I have 5 older siblings and was born to love music. It's even in my baby book that I loved the Monkees! However, it doesn't matter if you're an Original (like me), an '80s reunion-er, or (like my 17-year-old daughter) new to the game...we're ALL equal fans!
#3 shots not shot #7 Were not Where sorry cannot stand typos.
Well, technically#7 is wear, not Were or Where. We all make typos LOL.
Apparently, you can't stand punctuation either.
10 of 10. My favorite group. Glad ˋshé was on the quiz
You got 10 out of 10 - Be proud today! (Every day's pleasant when you're a Monkees fan!) I did have to guess on #8 after eliminating Randy Scouse Git but I do know my Monkees!!
Cool! Monkees as guests on The Raiders show, "Happening '69"
Monkees did a conver version of Kicks with Mickey on the vocals.
Come on MeTV, no new quiz in the last two days?

? Please do what.
I like both and I don’t find the “millennials only” phrase bothersome, nor do I mind typos and errors. I just appreciate that METV has quizzes and stories.
To save a few quizzes and stories on Friday.
Thanks for the clarification. I just did one quiz, I'll "try" to save the others for later or tomorrow.. Emphasis on try LOL.
