  1. Apparently this was the second best selling album of 1967, after Sgt. Pepper’s, so I guess it merits inclusion to some degree. And I’ll admit I was intrigued upon reading this was the first album that the band insisted upon some degree of creative control, writing a number of the songs themselves. Still, my pre-conceived notion of The Monkees as a pre-fab fab four, an utterly inauthentic thing, that was tough to drop. So did this album do anything to dissuade me of that notion?
  2. No.
