Red Right Ankle is one of my favourite ever songs.

Okay! I'll play this game :D

How about T?

Oooh... would this include titles with "the" at the beginning?

[vovat.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't include them if I were doing it, but it's totally up to you. I mean, this is supposed to be fun, right? {g}

Thank you for the flexibility. I'll try and think of "T" songs I love.

I'm game.

How about I?

I LOVE "Randy Scouse Git"! It was one of those songs I'd heard OF but didn't KNOW until I actually got a Monkees Greatest Hits CD last year, and it quickly became my favorite song on the CD. Unlike a few of the other songs I didn't know that were just Bad. But anyway.

I'll play, but don't give me "N," because I've played this game at least twice and got "N" twice, too. Not that I didn't have a whole lot of "N" songs I loved, but still.

Okay, I'll give you S.

Out of curiosity, which are the Monkees songs you didn't like? bethje is a big fan, so I'm familiar with much of their catalog.

Ah, you make me get my CD case (obviously, I've blocked out the ones I don't like). Off this CD, "Listen to the Band" I can't stand; "D.W. Washburn" sounds like they're trying too hard to be clever and failing, and it bugs me, but not as painfully as "Listen to the Band." On the whole I really like the CD though, so those are the only titles glaring at me as not liking.

Will do the S songs soon.

I really like both "Listen to the Band" and "D.W. Washburn," actually.
