I remember very clearly that in one of the later Monkees TV episodes they
ended with a close-up of Nesmith who said something like (paraphrasing)

"We've heard the rumors that we don't play our own instruments.  Man, that's
 a load of bull."

Then they should the band playing (really playing) together that include a
highlight of an amazing guitar solo by Nesmith.

I've always liked the Monkees.  Their first three albums ("The Monkees",
"More of the Monkees", and "Monkees Headquarters") were consistently good.
I still listen to them every so often.
