Top 10 List: The Best Monkees Songs
Although I would strongly and vulnerably offer that the Monkees music is nowhere near as strong across the board as the Archies, but these two are definitely kings of the bubblegum genre. And they harken back to a time that set the pop-culture template for much of what would follow.
By recently exploring more deeply into their library than I did when I was kid, I found that the Monkees have tons of mediocre-at-best tunes, but they definitely have enough great songs to make up a 5-star collection. My top 10:
10. Hard to Believe
9. Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)
8. A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You
7. She
6. I Wanna Be Free
5. Last Train to Clarksville
4. Pleasant Valley Sunday
3. Daydream Believer
2. I'm a Believer (see the perfect video above)
1. (Theme From) The Monkees
What do you think about the Monkees? Do you agree with me that they were very influential and have a handful of pure-pop-perfection gems? Are you going to catch them on their reunion tour this summer?

Loved them when I was a kid, and I love them still. I'd agree with your list except I would add Randy Scouse Git just because I love the off-beat wackiness of it.

you have to decide whether you want powerful kicks that won't require too much support from a bass guitar/sound or maybe if the vocals shall later on take 90% of the attention of your chorus/hook and the instrumentation becomes very simplistic for that part. Try some combinations that work best for the song the song.SingingMastery.Online
