Peter Tork was also a musician. Micky Dolenz, in an interview for Richard
Lamparski (the "WHATEVER BECAME OF ...?" book series) stated: "Davy and
I were actors and Mike and Peter were musicians. So Davy and I had to learn
to play music, and Mike and Peter had to learn how to act."

I don't know how the four guys got along off-camera, but they seemed to have a great onscreen chemistry.

Yeah i know Tork was a musician, but, he never struck me as a SERIOUS musician.

I notice the women are all saying Davy Jones, the one who had the least talent of any of them! (no comment)

Michael Nesmith wrote "Different Drum", which was one of Linda Ronstadt's first hits. Singer/songwriter Paul Williams auditioned for the Monkees, but didn't make the final cut.

Paul Williams??? :eek: THAT i wouldnt have wanted to see!

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: oh please people i mean come on davy ,davy, davy, i mean ok yeah he was good looking but mike should have been the "cutest" or at least peter! now i'm not saying that micky was not cute but davy he was always labled the "cutest" i mean why can't for once it be mike why can't someone fall in love with him for a change! in the words of peter tork "it can't be you everyweek davy!"

Micky Dolenz is my fav and IMO the real lead singer of the Monkees as he sang lead on alot if not most of the songs the monkees recorded.

Peter 2nd
Davey 3rd.
Mike 4th

You think it's about talent?? ;) :lol:

:rofl:

Mike is my favorite. I always felt like I could relate to him. Or at least his character on the Monkees show. And, he's a great guitarist. I have all of his albums on CD. Great stuff.

Mike Nesmith!!!!!

my favorite is Micky Dolenz

my favorite is Micky Dolenz
Davy was a decent singer and actor. He wasn't just a pretty face, his dancing wasn't great put good.

That tall dark-haired Texan with the wool cap - THE NEZ

I placed a vote for Peter Tork out of sympathy because he hadn't received any votes yet up to this point. And when I stop to think about it, Peter really is my favorite Monkee anyway.

As a little girl, I loved Peter because he seemed gentle and sweet.

I agree that Mike is a great guitarist and songwriter. I can see why people can relate to him. He could stand up there wit the best guitarists in rock and roll as well.

My quote is from William Shakespeare: If all the world could have seen't, the woe had been universal.

Mike's mother was famous too. She created white-out and Mike also was a pioneer of the creation of that channel known as MTV.

Peter all the way! He was (still is) such a cutie :) /votes in old poll

Peter, Peter, Peter!

Peter has been my favourite ever since I was 5 years old. :eyes:

Micky Dolenz is my fav and IMO the real lead singer of the Monkees as he sang lead on alot if not most of the songs the monkees recorded.

Wasn't he originally going to be in a Lovejoy episode playing an old pal of Lovejoy and Tinker's called Michael Mariano who owned an antique store in NYC?

Micky was my favorite. He has a beautiful voice.

Davy Mickey Peter than Mike, who didn't want a thing to do with any of them til Davy died. How awful that he white-out his past life so completely
and then was a major hypocrite because no one needed white-out anymore
as it is obsolete, and went for the big bucks.

Though I always loved his Arizona and Linda's Different Drum which he wrote.

But Davy is #1 with me.

Mike Nesmith was my favorite. He was a talented Guitar player and he also wrote some good songs for the group.

Davy! and he WAS talented both as a singer and dancer.
My sister-in-law liked Mike best however.

I like them all comedy wise and musician wise. They worked well together. Davy, Mike and Mickey all had good singing voices too!;) I don't know if I ever really heard or remember Peter singing?

Crush wise, Oh yeah the tall Texan. Mike was HOT!!!!:happyface And Davy was a little cutie pie too!!!;)

I always thought Micky was funny and had the best voice.

I always loved Davy the best.

Davy, of course! :)

I like Mike's calmness amongst the chaos the best but Micky's hyper tude is somewhat similar to mine [as I make my exit].

Take a wild guess..... It would be Mike Nesmith. I absolutely love some of the songs he wronte like The Girl That I Knew Somewhere, Circle Sky, and Listen To The Band.

Paul Williams??? :eek: THAT i wouldnt have wanted to see!

If he were chosen for the part, he would have been shorter than Davy.

Davy Jones was my favorite followed closely by Mickey Dolenz.

Micky was the best comedic actor out of the 4 guys and he also had a beautiful voice as well. Of course Davy with his boyish looks was the hottie of the group.

I can agree that Mickey had the most comedic talent and he could do slapstick and physical comedy better than the rest of them. He was not originally a singer or drummer and I heard that after the producers had them all picked and asked them who will be the drummer, the rest of them backed out leaving Mickey as the one who had to learn drums. Overall his singing voice became the signature sound of The Monkees, mainly because of what became their overall most-known and possibly most-played song, "Take The Last Train To Clarksville."
Davy was talented but still, being the " cutie" of the group, he was mostly thought of as a teen idol.

I myself would think of it as who was the most talented musician, which would make it a matter of thinking of Mike or Peter as the favorite . I heard that both of them were musicians not actors, and that Peter learned to play several instruments by the time he was in his late teens, including the harp.
Peter did not have much to do with singing in The Monkees. I think his most known, or only known song was"Auntie Grezelda" and I have heard it said that Peter's lack of singing ability is obvious in it which is why his voice is hardly heard singing lead in Monkees songs. (I think he sings nicely in "Auntie Grezelda." It is supposed to be a silly funny song. I like it. It is about someone, a young female, who was influenced by her grudge-filled aunt who needs to lighten up).
Mike was also a musician but I think his main or only instrument was the guitar. I liked his songs "What Am I Doin' Hanging 'Round?" and "Listen To The Band," and some others.

I guess I would want to be like Mike or Peter. No use being cute like Davy, or silly even in a talented way, like Mickey when the music is supposed to be most important.

I had a huge crush on Davy. Probably had something to do with his accent! :lol: I liked them all though. Happy memories!

Micky

Mike Nesmith was my favorite. He seemed to be the most down to earth of the bunch. Davy Jones is a close second. Micky Dolenz got most of the best songs though.

I heard that Davy was supposed to be the drummer but he was too short to be seen behind the drums so Mickey, being the only other non musician, was forced to learn drums.

Anyway, Davy was my favorite because he sang most of my favorite songs. After seeing all the retrospectives over the years I can't see how anyone could like Mike Nesmith. Everything I've heard about him makes him seem like a conceited arrogant *******.

Maybe. But he was possibly the most musically talented of all of them, definitely more than Davey and Mickey so perhaps he was really aware of it and
felt like George Harrison must have felt in the Beatles. Under-recognized because the heart throb gets the most attention.

It's varied over the years. I used to like Davy (because he sang well and I envied his "heart throb" status) and Peter, because he was the funny one. But I've grown to like Mickey a lot; he really honors the Monkees and his past and he's a very good singer. And Mike, though not quite as warm seeming, is a very good musician IRL.

Heck, I like 'em all! :lol:

BTW , anyone seen this? (I hope the link works)

I like them all, but Mike's probably my favorite.

I prefer Davy because he was more talented

Mike had the coolest hair, had some great deadpan, the coolest sideburns, some country-rock music that was great (hints of Zappa in there on occasion, too)...

All 4 brought something fun and talent into the show, but Mike's persona appealed to me more.

1. Davy

2. Micky

3. Peter

4. Michael

Davy Jones

hands down

Def Davy :)
