The Monkees are an American pop rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1965 for a television show of the same name. The original members were Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, and Davy Jones, who together created a blend of rock, pop, folk, and psychedelic music. The Monkees are most notable for their hit songs such as "I'm a Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville". Despite initially being a manufactured band for television, they became a significant part of the 1960s pop culture and influential in the development of music video production.
