Where To Watch
Can you tell the difference between the Monkees and the Beatles?
Is that Paul or Peter?
The Fab Four and the Pre-Fab Four. The British Invasion and American Television. "Hey Jude" and "Hey, Hey…"
The Beatles and the Monkees were the two pop juggernauts of the 1960s. Both bands repeatedly topped the charts. Both quartets sold millions and millions of records, not to mention lunch boxes. The two obviously have a lot in common — beyond melodies, shaggy haircuts and black boots. Their album artwork looked pretty similar, too.
Think you can tell the difference between the two?
We snatched bits and clips from the record sleeves. You guess whether you're looking at the Beatles or the Monkees. Good luck!

You got 18 out of 22
Hey, hey, we can't fool you. You've probably seen both Help! and Head.
Missed #9, #12, #15, and #20.
I consider this a good score.
Disliked both groups. Although the Beatles did have a few good songs.

Missed #6 and #16 - 20 /22. Much better than my last quiz
Considering that I think both "groups'" smell to high heaven, I only missed 3.
Some H.D. guessing.

Oh, my. Sounds like we could have a Lawrence Welk fan, here.
My guess is you weren't born in the 70's when these groups were on top of the charts.
nope. the 60's
18/22; not too bad considering I do not pay much attention to album covers.
21/22. #6 got me!
19/22 IMO The Monkees should be in the RR Hall of Fame they could've take the easy way and said were actors go ahead and use studio musicians. They could've lip synced on tour. But no they put in the work to be musicians. When the Beatles were making self indulging circus music on Sgt Pepper the Monkees were making songs like last train to Clarksville. Clarksville was the departure point for Vietnam "I don't know if I'm ever coming home" Pleasant Valley Sunday was a scathing indictment of suburban banality.
wrong. the monkeys did NOT write their own songs. The Beatles wrote every song they played. The Monkees were a one hit wonder or two. Period. And they DID lip sync and they didn't play the instruments. They faked it.
21/22. Had all this albums so started off easy. #20 got me as the red shirt sure looked like a Davy shirt. Playing instruments or not the Monkees did some great singing. The Beatles, in their own class as well.
21/22 Missed the Head cover
21/22. I missed the last one. Obviously, the ones that showed their faces were the easy ones. Usually the ones where they were all wearing the same suit were the Beatles. The only time I recall the Monkees all wearing the same thing was the pic shown here of them in the red shirts.
I disliked just a few of the aspects of the the Monkees show.
It was so obvious that they were actors and not really musicians!
Every time I saw them play on screen, the guy that pretended to play the drums was so far out of synchronization with what I was hearing, that I felt embarrassed for him.
I don't understand why they didn't give him a few drum lessons so he could at least fit the part a little bit better!
Or they could have easily found good musicians that were also great actors to play the parts.

They all played their own instruments and sang the songs, on the show they lipped synched much like all the musicians do today. As far as going on tour they did play and were really singing. Some of the songs they wrote themselves and were given credit for that fact. If you ever watched groups performing "live" on T.V you can catch them mouthing the words and notice they are not actually playing either.
