Yeah. I think he's the one most people remember from the band (and Mike Nesmith, but he'd be known as, "Oh, that guy with the hat".) so that is strange, indeed. And he was the lone Englishman in the group, too, which kinda sets him apart right there.
*Nods* You described it perfectly. I can remember all the words to a song I haven't heard in 20 years. But forgetting some sort of step in paperwork I often do at my job? Very easy to do, and something I have done a few times. And sometimes memories can blur together, too, and you think something happened in, say, one year, but it actually happened either years before or after that.
The brain is a very strange, fascinating organ.
The
Pisces album is my mom's favorite one by them. She remembered reading some review of it once where the writer said that it was the first Monkees album you could listen to the whole way through "without skipping over the embarrassing parts"
.
I'd have to go back and pinpoint what songs were on which albums. I don't think I ever really paid attention to that part of it all when I'd hear their music. Some of their songs I remember hearing via the band's TV show, anyway.
Isn't
Valotte the one that has "Too Late For Goodbye" on it? I like that song, I remember hearing it when I was little. I like the song "Valotte", too. That's all I know by Julian, though.
