   Buytthe Monkees were known to be just an excuse for tyhe tv show & vice-versa -   
   - the Partridge family didn't even play themselves -- they were not musicians.    
   I think the Monkees were, no?   
      
   The only albums I got of theirs cost me $1-$2m, so I'm not going to go   
   seeiing  refunds! *LOL*   
      
   Whoever was behind the sound -- it's a fun listen when I'm the mood for '70s    
   bubble-gum music!   
      
   I never got into the members nam,es *7 bios -- I just knew which bands &    
   artists liked.   
      
   The ony artist in rock I noted & paid attention to who he played with, was   
   Eric Clapton -- the King of Rock & Roll Acoustic Guitar, I'd say. .    
      
   Every album he's on (whether solo, or Cream, or the others) was a #1 seller    
   with multiple gold & platinum singles. Impressive indeed.   
      
   I'm starting, out of curiosity, to backtrack a few favourite bands to their    
   previous formations (e.g. Earth for Black Sabbath--not easy to find)
