The Monkees - More of the Monkees
Created as TV’s answer to the Beatles, the Monkees were once dismissed as the “prefab Fab Four.” But history has been kinder to the group, as new generations discover their pop charms.

Other nuggets include “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone” and “Mary Mary,” by the group’s own, wooly-hatted Michael Nesmith.
