The original TV boyband were responsible for some of the biggest hits of the '60s. Selling 50 million records with hits such as Daydream Believer, Last Train to Clarksville, I'm a Believer and (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone, The Monkees provided the soundtrack to teenage lives on both sides of the Atlantic from the '60s onwards. With the TV series being repeated throughout the 1980s, a whole new legion of fans were exposed to their crazy antics. Following the TV show, the band went on to tour the world, release hit albums and singles, make a cult psychedelic, surreal film (1968's Head) and inspire generations of bands to follow their winning formula. Without The Monkees, there would be no Backstreet Boys, no Take That, no Boyzone, no Busted and no JLS. Even the Sex Pistols made (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone part of their repertoire!
