I put this in this section because it was more of a show than a band. I loved the show when I was a kid and saw them in 1986 on the reunion tour in Knoxville, TN.
Peter Tork, a blues and folk musician who became a teeny-bopper sensation as a member of the Monkees, the wisecracking, made-for-TV pop group that imitated and briefly outsold the Beatles, died Feb. 21. He was 77.
His death was confirmed by his sister Anne Thorkelson, who did not say where or how he died. Mr. Tork was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare cancer affecting his tongue, in 2009.

Man that's a bummer. I always enjoyed the Monkees music (more so than the show).

My favorite Peter Monkees moment...
Thanks for the laughs and the music, Pete.

I loved the Monkees, music and show, some of their songs hold up better than the so called serious bands from the era.

The Monkees were probably the first band I ever really loved. I watched the tv show religiously as a kid
