“I've always admired The Monkees' music for its production (some of the best-sounding recordings from that time) and structure, especially their original compositions — Nesmith in particular. His output from 1966 to 1969 produced some of my favorite songs: Good Clean Fun, Circle Sky, You Told Me, Writing Wrongs, and too many more to list here.
