As musicians, they got better as time went on, but I believe Tommy Boyce wrote most, if not all, of their material.
CA....
Mike Nesmith was always a good musician...Peter Tork wasn’t bad, neither....and did you know that Mickey Dolenz was the first choice to play Fonzie on Happy Days?
Neal Diamond wrote a couple of their tunes IIRC.
Rest in peace, Mr. Jones and thanks for some great memories of simpler times.

Way off. Boyce & Hart wrote a number of their early tunes, and were their first studio producers, but from the first album Nesmith’s material was being incorporated. Other significant contributors along the way were Carole King, Neil Sedaka, Neil Diamond, David Gates, Harry Nillson, and Michael Murphy.
Actually a good bit of their album “Headquarters” was written by them.
