    Thanks for that explanation about the Monkees. I remember a band with that name but have never heard any song.

    I was the goody-two-shoes sister, too, Nancy, and I always laughed when I heard that song because I thought it described my younger hard-partying sister perfectly!

    You may remember I'm A Believer and Last Train To Clarksville, perhaps?

It has been played many many times since then and is still sounding good twenty years later.
    Funnily enough,Dire Straits had a kinda hits CD out,when we had our 1st CD player,and that was my first CD.(I'm affraid, i can remember 8 tracks and cassettes,for the car....and vinyl LP's)

    Day dream believer....still gets played at parties. etc.
    The Monkee's were "created" in the way modern boy bands are now.The four guy's had never met,and got brought together.A bit like Girls aloud,and New Kids on the block,etc.
    If memory serves me right,"I'm a believer" was written by Neil Diamond.

    The first time I heard Dire Straits was the song "Sultans of Swing" on my older sister's "70s Gold" record. I wasn't allowed to listen to that LP too often, though!

    About the Monkees - "Manufactured Image" was what they called it, right? Back then - big deal. Nowadays - not so much.

    Add me to the list of Monkees fans. I loved watching the Monkees. Up until recently the Disney channel were repeating them, but I don't think they are now. I can remember me, toonie and our older brother and sister doing the walk in our garden when we were kids!

    Anway..the first CD I bought with my own money was probably from some sort of boy band. I think it could have been Take That I remember my older sister getting a few Beatles albums on CD and begging her to record them onto cassette for me.
