The Monkees' "Headquarters" Is one of the greatest Most under-rated pop/rock records Of all time Just learning to play their instruments Slowly but surely crawling out from under Don Kirshner's thumb The sound wasn't as confident or solid As seminal recent offerings by the Beatles The template... The mold.... Yet there were several pearls in those oysters Pure raw ragged pop perfection To give Lennon, Macca, Harrison and Starkey A serious run for their money even Brian Wilson sweatin' jeaulosy "You Told Me" solid out the gates. "Forget That Girl" Breakin' hearts. "You Just May Be The One" offering encouragement "Shades of Grey" and Early Morning Blues and Greys" reminding us we're but fragile hearts "Sunny Girlfriend " a standard to be achieved "Band 6" and "Zilch" for comic relief And don't forget the bands take on flower power "For Petes Sake" If you couldn't get all that Get it good in your soul There must have been something wrong with you
