What do you say, guys? How 'bout the Monkees added to the archives? After all, they were the first ever to use a Moog when only 3 units existed.

Are you crazy? They didn't even play in their records! They were an artificial product!

Artificial indeed, sound like another The Beatles for the record companies to cash off of.

Worth the attempt, MS. 
But it was moved to non-prog music. If people decide they're proto-prog, I promise to get this thread back to its deserved forum.

All I know about that band- well 2 things:
1. They had a crappy TV show
2. The mother of one of the band-members invented white out.

I got it.
BTW, their TV shows were much more interesting than their music IMO.

Yeah- go for it. If they're not prog related, I don't know what is. But I think the Partridge Family should go in first.

I can't tell you how many nights I have spent pondering the deeper meaning within "The Last Train to Clarksville." Is it a train of thought, of mouthwash, of turnips? Was Mickey Dolenz really Phil Collins' alter-ego? Or Bill Bruford's? Only by having them crowned worthy of prog status will we ever truly get to the bottom of these and many more questions.

True! I forgot which one, but you know your facts!
The Monkees were designed to be a copy of The Beatles: it was a record company idea. (There was one who could write songs though: Mike Nesmith made some country rock albums and he really was good at it.)

I'll probably lose all credibility for this, but I think there's more to the "Fabricated Four" than most people realize. You can't deny that they had a lot of great, if nonthreatening, pop tunes. On "Headquarters," They actually did start playing their own instruments. The point about the moog was relevant, because it was introduced by the band members. They were striving to be more than their handlers wanted them to be. Check out "Headquarters," and "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd." (with an open mind) It may change the way you view these guys.
But they had absolutely nothing to do with prog.

I found their album Head in one of the music stores in my city. I'm still considering going over there tomorrow and picking it up...
