Okay, so maybe this isn't the best wank ever . . .
Can't compare to MsA or Sarah T. but I thought it was amusing anyway:

Waaah! How could they?? This album sucks! The cover art is horrible and tacky and you can't hear the audience! No Micky playing the kettledrum, etc. etc.!

The wank is in the review "Monkees Live Rip-off". The fact that the cover art is bad (in the opinion of one reviewer) and that songs were left off seems to be more important than what IS there--you don't really hear much about the actual music, just crap like "The liner notes give fans no new information and only three tiny individual photos of the Monkees (no group photo) and one blurry photo of the back-up band."

Gee, and I thought you were supposed to buy CDs to listen to them. Silly me.

I also love how s/he complains about the fact that "Girl isn't one of their songs, why use it?"

Uhm... Am I the only person who's ever heard of a cover song?

I guess this completely negates the validity of Tori Amos' Strange Little Girls because, you know, she didn't actually WRITE any of the songs! *GASP!*

I love that one, too. I think it stems from the fact that the only two solo spots on those CD belong to Mister ManBoobs Davy Jones. Which is a whole 'nother wank. ;)

...wow... I'm either way too young or waaaay too ignorant, but...

Davy Jones is... uhh... also a member of the Monkeys? Yes? Maybe? Perhaps? *slinks off*

Yes'm. He's the really short one whose ego is in inverse proportion to his tiny self.

*snort* Wow... You mean Napolean was reincarnated, and all he settled for was a second-bit knockoff of the Beatles? *snickers*

*straight faced* I mean... Uh... Yes. I respect and honor the innovations the Monkeys have made in modern music today. *solemn nod*

Shuuuuuuuuure.

*RAE*?

Besides, John Lennon was a fan. Never missed the show, so he said.

Wait, there are real monkeys making innovations in music? Wow . . . and I thought it was just the Monkees. (Yeah, cheap shot. *smacks self*)

*grins* Well, if it's good enough for Mr. Lennon...

No, I like the Monkees, they're good clean fun. They've got a really trippy track on the Vanilla Sky soundtrack that I love. I'm afraid I don't know much more about them other that soundtrack and when VH1 did an all-day marathon of their TV show.

It's just too, too easy to make the pot-shots at them, though, and I can never pass it up... (Oh, and RE my spelling: that band that John Lennon was in... They were the Beetles, right? ;))

Believe me--Monkees fans poke fun at them, too. Most of us are in it for the fun, and to gawk at Mike Nesmith in drag. ;)

I think it was the "muzzy wrongheadedness" and "lack of subtlety and inspiration" that negated Strange Little Girls, but maybe that's just me.

Loved all those pics of Tori in various girl drags, tho.

Heh. Actually, Strange Little Girls is one of the Tori Amos albums I never bought. I kind of went through a "Tori" phase, where I bought every CD of hers that came out for a few years, and even though I still listen to them a lot, I've never really been possessed by the urge to buy a new CD.

Huh. Wow. After all that random information that you didn't need to know, I was going to insert a witty comment or self-depricating remark, but I can't seem to.

It's the pressure, I swear.

there r 2 manee smrt ppl on tihs list!!! OMG!!!11!! i cant cumpar 2 u!!!!111!

Ahh... Now I feel much better.

IMO, Scarlet's Walk is worth coming back for. It's a smoother sound overall than I generally associate with Tori, but the songs are as thoughtful and lovely and complex as her best work.

*runs away before someone notices she's not being witty or mocking at all*

Ah, crazed Monkees fans. Gotta love 'em. They'll keep giving us the wank forever--even after the Monkees themselves are dead. And even then, the ghost of Peter Tork will haunt them and say, "Dude--shut the fuck up already! We're fucking dead!"

And you'll find them ALL at alt.music.monkees. ;)

Oh yeah. Some will drift off because there won't be any gossip about who's fucking who (honestly, there are hot young studs who don't get talked about and argued over HALF as much as Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz.), but there will always be few die hard asshats.

And even then, the ghost of Peter Tork will haunt them and say, "Dude--shut the fuck up already! We're fucking dead!"

And then the looneys will start arguing about who he's screwing in the afterlife. ;)

I bet ten to one that it'll be Marianne Faithfull!

You know, I love Marianne Faithfull (even in her semi-old age, she's still kinda hot), but I have to wonder--just how many rockers/other celebrities did she screw in her prime?

(No, this isn't just because she's a woman--I wonder this about many male rockers myself. It's just that Marianne tends to have *somewhat* better taste.)

ROTFL! That's so clever! Did you write that out on your own or did your mommy help you?

And I think the poster's a girl. Kinda hard to lube up a dick you don't have, ya know?

Oh, wait. You DO know, don't you?

I had to show up and greet the obsessed computer geeks that can't live unless I'm on their mind. It's like doing a favor to the lower class.
