Yes, I think you're right Andy. I remember when they were "manufactured". I always thought they represented the lighter, fun side of Pop music amongst all the political/hippy things that were going at the time. They were much derided for that, but it was essential "kids" Pop of the time.
RIP Davy , i loved him when i was a kid
He was the most instantly likeable of the band ( and the best jockey). Racing's loss was music's gain. Yes, they were manufactured but, for all that, they did have a couple of good hit recordings.
He'll be having a catch-up with Ena Sharples in the Rovers in the sky.
I think he played her grandson, but I was only little at the time.
Andy, I hope you don't mind. I'd take any chance to put Cassandra Wilson on AB. This is her take on the Monkees first big hit record............

Great band, great character ... loved them as a kid on TV ... they proved they could sing in the end, R I P Davy ... thank you .. !!
Oh wow, I loved the Monkees, what a shame and only 66 years old.
One of my favourites - how sad. All the older music icons are leaving us ..
No, I don't believe it, what did he die off? RIP Davy!
Loved the Monkees, never missed the series when I was young, so sad about Davy Jones, 66 isn't old these days............
A heart attack it seems netibiza. Bit of a shame.
I hadn't heard of it today so literally just came on ab for a quick nose about and spotted this! It's awful, i'm quite choked really.
First 45' I ever bought 'I'm a Believer' by the Monkees. Still have 3 Monkees Annuals-won't get rid part of memory bank. Remember my Mum embroidered their names on my jumper! Happy Days.

Yes, it is a very sad loss, I loved the Monkees, great personalities, and I still love the music.
I've got a Monkees annual too Mrsspagnoli :o)
I had to laugh at the Daybreak Hollywood correspondent this morning (somebody Ross?) who said he played Edna Sharples' grandson in Corrie.
Such a shame. The Monkees were such an innocent, feel-good band. Anyone remember Davy in Corrie?
To a fellow Mancunian Davy Jones, the boy done well.
RIP Davy, gone too soon.
He played Stanley.Ena Sharples grandson.I remember it well
:0( So sad....my first crush too RIP Davy xxx
