The Monkees represent a vital problem for rock and pop, and perhaps
the major question: is it the music that matters or the personality
and image of the performers? This book explores the system behind
the Monkees, the controversial made-for-tv band that scored some of
the biggest hit records of the 1960s. The Monkees represent the
cumulative result of a complex coordination of talented
individuals, from songwriters to studio musicians to producers –
the system of the 1960s Hollywood music industry. The new rock
criticism bewailed the fake band, while fans and audiences made the
Monkees a major commercial success. More than any other band in the
1960s, the Monkees illustrate the genius of the system and its role
in popular music.
