It's funny to talk about "The" sound, when the instrument has a practically infinite variety of sounds.

It had crappy sounds, and it had delicious sounds. Compare and contrast the ways it was used by George Harrison versus Keith Emerson

It's best to play it yourself than hear it in records to get the full-on effect.

Download minimogue luxus for a tester.

Or try minimonster's demo.

THere's something distinctive in moog harmonics that feels really good to play.

Still, the Minimoog filter definitely has a characteristic sound.

I agree. I think the Moogerfooger pedal is underrated, btw.

yep, not The Doors or The Beatles. And they beat The Byrds to it by about 4 weeks.

Yep. The Monkees' "Star Collector" and "Daily Nightly" were the first pop songs to use the Moog.

most of their stuff for me gary was over played at various family weddings in my youth,however the album "head" and the film too,to this day still blow my mind

I agree they had two or three pretty good albums - I still like PISCES AQUARIUS. And HEAD, of course, is very cool. Nesmith wrote some good songs spread out over various albums.

No need to apologize, vurt. I've got a very thick skin re: the Monkees. And hey, you like HEAD.

I could be alone in being old enough to have seen the Monkees live in concert. They actually put on a good show, although I might have been a bit impressionable...
