Talk:Instant Replay (The Monkees album)

Rock?
I'm sure that many musicologists with perfect 20/20 hindsight have now decreed that everything recorded in the swinging 60s should be classified as 'rock' but it's just plain stupid. I lived right though the era and this album, just like all the Monkees other recordings, was pure and simple 'Pop'. It was recorded by a popular group for the purpose of being popular, and popular it was.

Maybe you could get away with calling it rock'n'roll but rock? Someone needs to get real.--213.208.117.47 (talk) 15:13, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I'd say they were mostly pop but Mickey Dolenz is quoted in the booklet of The Definitive Monkees cd set re being criticized as an "contrived rock n' roll group" & the tv show being "a television ABOUT a rock'n'roll group" The booklet/cd is dated 2001 but when the interview quote is from (except after The Monkees ended). 109.224.137.121 (talk) 02:12, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
