Free Music Notes for Music Box
Free Music Review: Very well received
Hit: 5 Stars
My typical music choice is not reflected with this purchase, but I've been tasked with finding music for a very wide range of listeners including residents of a retirement community. This was bought on a whim and was not a researched purchase...I was just looking for music that would please the listeners and I struck gold with this one. I have to say it is the most listened to of all my purchases and I've come to really enjoy it as well.

Free Music Review: the hated monkees
Hit: 4 Stars
OK,i want to 'fess up. Back in the 60's,my sister was crazy about the monkees. i absolutely loathed them. hated them. thought they were the musical equivalent to the Antichrist. etc.etc.(Nesmith was OK,tho')
But,as the years wore me down,I realized that I actually enjoyed some of their songs when they happened to be on the radio.
I bought an old cassette tape of their hits and was considering getting some CD's such as "Pisces...." and another or two until I saw this Rhino set.
I hate to admit that I was a least somewhat wrong about them.
They had some great pop tunes with great hooks,even if they were not written by them (except Nesmith).
If Mickey Dolenz is cool enough to groove to Ravi Shankar at the Monterey Pop Festival then he must have something going for him.
So,in spite of myself,I let 'em in to my collection. They're still minor-league ball compared to the Beatles,et.al.
But a good tune is a good tune,as Kurt Cobain knew so well.You can't argue with that.
Enjoy!
Free Music Review: Nostalgia revisited
Hit: 5 Stars
Fantastic. I love this stuff. Why? Because you can't take life seriously when you are listening to The Monkees box set. The newer stuff on here I don't like, you can keep it. I don't think these guys realized it at the time, that they had industry powerhouses cranking out some great music... yeah, there are some clunkers, but who cares.. still worth getting.
