Here's a story from a while back that has not been posted on the blog. I'd like to thank representatives from Goldmine magazine for contacting the Live Almanac to make sure the fanbase was aware that the longtime music magazine honored The Monkees as one of the first inductees into their Hall of Fame.

The Monkees also recently topped the public vote for the Pop Music Hall of Fame.

So, Cleveland, what are you waiting for?

Below you will find Goldmine's summary for The Monkees' entry into their hall of fame (and their criteria for admission can be found here).
