The Monkees - Summer Of Love
Review by Phillip Crawford
The album Summer of Love by the Monkees is a delightful throwback to the psychedelic 1960s. The band's signature harmonies and catchy melodies are on full display in this album, which features a mix of new material and covers of classic songs from the era.
Standout tracks include "Birth of an Accidental Hipster," a collaboration with Noel Gallagher of Oasis that perfectly captures the spirit of the Summer of Love, and "Wasn't Born to Follow," a cover of a Byrds song that showcases the Monkees' impeccable harmonies.

Summary by Phillip Crawford
Comments
As a part of Rhino Records' celebration on the 50th anniversary of the "Summer of Love," they issued this new Monkees compilation, focusing on some of their more psychedelic material. It's a fun little album, even if it misses the mark by including mainstream songs like "Saturday's Child" and "Words," which I've never felt had any sort of psychedelic appeal to them. My biggest question, though, is where is "Daily Nightly"?! "Daily Nightly," along with "Porpoise Song" and "Tapoica Tundra," is one of their most psychedelic songs, and it's nowhere to be found on this compilation. The inclusion of one of their new, 2016 songs, "Birth of an Accidental Hipster," is a nice touch, illustrating once again how well their 2016 material fits in with their classic hits. The 2016 compilation FOREVER included their 2016 hit "She Makes Me Laugh" amidst some of their older material, as well. SUMMER OF LOVE may not be the best way to introduce everyone to The Monkees, but it might not be a bad way, either! It does show that The Monkees were more than just a manufactured "hit factory;" they were a talented group that had plenty of creative genius when they were allowed to go off the beaten path.
1) Mickey was my favorite but good lord he could have tried a little harder to look like he was actually playing the drums..
2) I think Mike wins the all time record for looking bored as hell while performing..

I got to see the Monkees at a concert in LA minus Mike Nesmith becaus3 he wasn't touring much. It was the Monkees and John Kay from Steppin Wolf.
Some of the best entertainers we ever had. R.I.P. Mike Davey/And Peter.
I don't care that they were a TV made "plastic" band. They transcended that entirely.
I often question if that a tattoo on peter hand
Monkees were underrated
Never noticed before that Peter Tork has a tattoo on his hand.
Has anybody ever looked less like they know how to play bass than Davy does in this video?
CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT TIME PLEASE??????????????
Only Mickey left . The others are dead.
Underrated band of all time!!!
An absolute ?
I'm from UK but love this track as much as any Beatles song. Absolutely Superb.,?
Their music and lyrics have held up well after all these years
Mickey Dolenz had a great voice!
You know why I like the Monkeys more than the Beatles? The Monkeys are American
????
Mickey could drum and sing too. Aloha
Just the lyrics alone are what's wrong with a lot of kids complaining because of their life of "mediocrity" in the suburbs where they lived entitled spoiled lives. Look what it's gotten to. A country that puts self gratification above all.
Great song! Have always liked Mickey's vocals. It is clear though, that Davey doesn't have a clue what to do with that bass. Maybe that's why Mike looks like he's standing in line at the bank.
