I lived through the “Monkee” era. I knew their songs and watched their TV show. Yet, I can’t name a single song of theirs that was written by Mike Nesmith (or any of the other Monkees).
Yes, the Monkees sang on their songs, but rarely, maybe never played the instruments on any of those recordings. The songs were written by professional songwriters like Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart and Neil Diamond. The backing tracks were recorded, not by the Monkees, but by professional studio musicians.
I enjoyed their music, but truthfully, they were not really musicians, not really a band. They were four kids that were hired by studio executives to portray a pop band on a television show.

Oh geez, who's left, Mickey Doolenz? (Is that how you spell his name?)
God bless you Mr. Nesmith, you were one of the greats, you will be missed! Rest in peace.

IMHO, he was the George Harrison of the group. Smart, laid back, talented.
