~~BEATLES vs. MONKEES ~~ Gloves are off...who's YOUR favorite?

Seeing as there are almost as many Monkees threads over here as there are Beatles threads, I am really curious....which band do you generally listen to MORE?

This is not a poll to say which band was better, who wrote better music, who played instruments better, etc., etc.

Simply, who do YOU prefer overall? Pretend nobody else is looking....

 

I always thought the Monkees were a band manufactured for television whose members could not even play their own instruments? A complete joke, that is.

If so, how do they even belong in the same sentence as the Beatles?

 

I would vote for the Monkees on behalf of my little sister.

 

I've never considered The Monkees as a real band. I don't remember the last time that I listened to The Monkees, but I did listen to The Beatles today.

 

~The Beatles
You know I really do love The Monkees, but...

 

I'm ready for one of the most lopsided polls in the forum's history.

 

Silly poll.

We are asked to compare Mercedes vs. Volkswagen here.

I love the Toledo Mud Hens, too, but I don't expect them to dethrone any of the leaders in the American League East anytime soon.

 

The Beatles will destroy The Monkees, I don't see the point of a poll.

 

Another Beatles thread.

 

...stuffed crust pizza anyone?

 

The Beatles

 

I'm not a big Beatles fan by any stretch of the imagination, but come on: The Beatles.

 

I'm going to say the Beatles but I will say that I prefer the Monkees movie Head to any of the Beatles' movies.

 

really?

 

Please. Monkees for me, but this is gonna be a slaughter.

 

Same here. I think my Beatles to Monkees listening ratio is around 10,000 to 1.

 

The Beatles

I don't even own anything by the Monkees

 

same here

 

Mike Nesmith sure looks like Ringo Starr there....Or does Ringo look like Mike Nesmith ?

I'd honestly prefer a vintage pristine vw bug, c. 1966.

 

The Beatles

 

I have to say on behalf of Micky Dolenz ,he nailed the comparison of the Monkees to the Beatles as " Comparing the Monkees to the Beatles is like comparing Star Trex to NASA " Very well put ...

 

Huh. The Monkees actually got four votes; I didn't know Mike, Micky, Davy & Peter were all forum members!

 

The Beatles. The Monkees are way too hit or miss.

However...

All the King's Horses
Papa Gene's Blues
Saturday's Child
What Am I Doing Hanging 'Round?
Heart and Soul
Every Step of the Way
Don't Bring Me Down

all rival the Beatles' best output (for me).

 

There couldn't be a third category: Both?
