They were created by US recording studio in response to the “Brit invasion” of the sixties and did not write or even play their own songs. Therefore we of a certain generation considered them inferior to the Beatles, Stones etc. Despite starring in their own TV show they never learnt to act.
All that said I think everyone of a certain generation knows I’m a believer and Last train to Clarkesville

. They were likeable and the songs associated with them and the TV Series was good and put you in good form. So mission acomplished. I am a life long fan of them.
They may not have had the pure talent of the Beatles (a personal favourite), but what they brought to the masses was feel good fun, and the tunes they portrayed as their own are still better than the 'muck' churned out nowadays by artists with far less talent.... RIP Michael Nesmith. Those of a certain age salute you! lol
