"I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I do admit when you look at the consider all things, this is an enjoyable one. His voice is so expressive and the melodies so soulfulness.

"The people who dismiss the Monkees without ever having listened to them, and who refer to them derisively as a "band" (never without quotation marks), can never really be convinced of their merits.
