But Michael Nesmith was the only one with talent in that group.

He'd have to define "talent". Because if you're going on sheer musical ability, obviously Mike Nesmith was the only Monkee who had any. Even my beloved Mickey had to learn the drums to become a Monkee, and Davy was just cute and could carry a decent tune. Peter Tork was a musician but not like Nesmith.
But talent has so many different meanings. Nesmith without the cute front man is a session guitarist.

I loved them all. Mom will tell you that!
...why are we using the word 'talent' when discussing the Monkees? Anyone?

Don't you do that. How long did it take you to get the intro to Last Train to Clarksville down properly?

...counting today?
I'm saying that Nesmith was an actual musician (He may have been no Esteban, but he did more than bang a tambourine) :duckandrun:and a pretty good songwriter.
Is it seamless? Because last time I heard you play it, it was somewhat choppy.
...see, this is a problem. You said "How long did it take me...?" and I said "Counting today?" as to say " I still ain't got it..." and you have to tell the whole world that I play LTTC choppy. Do you know how difficult that will make being seen in public, starting tomorrow, for me? An artiste?
I'm okay with Mike Nesmith being above being a Monkee. But he was a Monkee, and I appreciate that.
He just wasn't as hot as Mickey and Davy.
Cut the hair and shave the beard. No one will know it's the same person.
...you probably think that's funny.

Right. So don't you be picking on no Monkees.
"The least they could do is tune their instruments....."
And you should be able to serenade me with Monkee tunes by now. It's only been 10.5 years.
