The DC5 fell into the "good" camp with the Beatles, The Animals and The Rolling Stones. They were light years better, and they rocked ten times harder, than Herman's Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Searchers, Freddie And The Dreamers, Chad and Jeremy and the rest of the teenybopper groups.
Including the Monkees in a discussion about the DC5 reeks of ignorance.
My mistake.
Your preposterous assertions are the results of bad taste rather than bad history.
Most of the Freepers listen to country and little else apparently. Liking the British invasion is akin to enjoying Karl Marx on a guitar to most of them.
