This compilation features 20 of the best tracks from the popular quartet, including the classics "Daydream Believer" and "She." Digitally remastered edition. The Monkees were, of course, assembled more for their acting and comedic abilities than any musical ones, and many of their songs were simply disposable vehicles for a huge marketing machine, but the group eventually developed musical aspirations that yielded some strikingly good pop songs, including capable covers of Neil Diamond's "A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You" and Harry Nilsson's "Cuddly Toy," and Michael Nesmith's own "The Girl I Knew Somewhere," all three of which are included in this compilation. Although there's a lot that isn't here, this set still does an OK job of spotlighting a group that was, in hindsight, no worse than -- and in many cases, better than -- what passed for cool and hip at the close of the 1960s. ~ Steve Leggett
