To fill in your Curcle Sky comment, Nesmith came up with an additional verse which was cool and fit in with the 1990's grunge sound. I really loved Justus, notably Regional Girl, Admiral Mike, Dying of a Broken Heart, Run Away From Life and Circle Sky.
I typically avoid lists like this but when it comes to putting the vinyl on the turntable, I CANNOT sit thru More Of etc. Nesmith and Boyce and Hart songs shined on this along with I'm a Believer but most the rest were bubblegum to spoken word. Unlike the 1st album, my friends really had a field day with this one. Sad being it had 6 great tracks and the rest were embarrassing. This is fortunate being this solidified them to rebel over Kirshner and do their own thing. Donny left out superior songs like Words and Valleri for The Day We Fell In Love? I never played it again.
I agree there were several much better songs that could have replaced "The Day We Fall in Love" If you don't have a taste for bubblegum, I can totally see you not wanting to listen to More of The Monkees all the way through. They had such variety of styles in their catalog, if you liked Pop Music, they had something for everyone.

I've come across a lot of people who agree with you about Justus. It's interesting how much they could rock on that Circle Sky.
@@BossCityBrian Thanx for the insight

@@BossCityBrian I really was into the 2nd season music as they moved it to an adult level. First season was the Kirshner era.
