“Hey, hey we’re the Monkees! And people say we monkey around!”

When The Monkees television show started, the band members were nothing but hired actors and vocalists, but by the end of the show they had fought for the rights to supervise all musical output by the band. If only current pop stars could take ques from the Monkees. Just in that right they deserve an Epic Win.
Furthermore, without the Monkees, there wouldn’t be the iconic “I’m a Believer,” which we’ll go ahead and credit for the initial success of the first Shrek movie, “Daydream Believer” or a host of other excellent songs that are woven into the history of music, as well as a show beloved by many of that generation.
