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.

Considering that I think both "groups'" smell to high heaven, I only missed 3.
Some H.D. guessing.

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.
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.
