Ah, man. That was... sudden. A friend and I were just talking about him and The Monkees yesterday. Just started digging into their discography and this happened.

Such a shame.

I'm not a hardcore Monkees fans but I love the hits. Davy Jones was a big part of that.

RIP. Crushing loss for the pop world.

RIP Davy. The Monkees are among my favorites, I love the music, the TV shows, and the movie(s). I met him in 1991 and he signed my copy of "More Of The Monkees". Daydream Believer will stand as one of the best records of the 60's.

I grew up in the 80's watching The Monkees and in fact they were my first big concert. Sad day.

Very sad news. I love his "Daddy's Song" dance segment in HEAD (not to mention his bit with Sonny Liston). He seemed like a very nice guy. Rest In Peace.

I agree, love the hits, could never get that into the albums, even Headquarters.  But they were the first group I ever got into as a seven year old and this is sad.  66 is so young these days.

A reminder of how many years have passed by: in July 1967(when I was 11), my sister took me to my first-ever rock concert. It was a Monkees concert at Miami Beach Convention Hall (the warm-up acts were an Australian girl singer Lynne Randell & a then-unknown hard rock trio "The Jimi Hendrix Experience"). Since then, I was a lifetime fan, and I had always collected every available note of Monkees & Hendrix music. RIP Davy.

I'm actually a huge Monkees fan and posted a tribute on my facebook page as soon as I heard.  I was never specifically a big fan of Davy but his death means the end of the group as a touring entity and that makes things even sadder for me   Cry

Like every other Monkees fan, this news was sudden and shocking, what a loss! I'll be listening to Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones Ltd in tribute...R.I.P. Davy Jones.

Shed some tears for Davy today ... certainly my first favorite group as a child and never stopped listening to their records.

Davy was a great, underrated artist and I hope peace finds him as he steps into the great beyond.

Shocked and saddened.  Hard to lose another member of the fraternity far too soon.

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I was introduced to Davy Jones through The Brady Bunch reruns when I was about 6...when I got a little older I discovered that he was part of the Monkees. He was an awesome performer and entertainer! Sad I never got a chance to see him in concert. Rest in peace, Davy Jones.

Guitar guy - Thanks for sharing that great treasure with us...Davy seemed like a genuinely charming guy, who loved to entertain.  What a winning smile!

The girls just loved him.  

Hope all you guys (and girls!) out there, get your hearts checked out every year!

Davy was the star of that band...sad, indeed.
