According to allmusic.com, "There would be original material generated for [Th Monkees] to sing in the [TV] series, mostly by professional songwriters like Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart, Carole King, Gerry Goffin, and Neil Diamond." Most of these songs were the early hits, like "I'm a Believer," "Last Train to Clarksville," "A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You," "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "Stepping Stone," "Take a Giant Step," "Valleri," and "Words". Later, The Monkees wrote more of their own material, but nothing that would be as big a hit as those mentioned above. In October 1996 in honor of their 30th Anniversary, The Monkees released an album called Justus (meaning Just Us), and that's exactly what it was from start to finish anything & everything that went into it was by the 4 Monkees (Micky, Peter, Davy & Mike), from the song writing (lyrics & music), to the singing & instruments to the production! Although all of the Monkees did very occasionally write their own material the only regular writer was Mike Nesmith. He wrote many of their songs such as "Girl I Knew Somewhere", "Mary Mary", "Listen To The Band" and many others. He also produced many of the sessions himself.
The writing team most associated with the Monkees was Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. They wrote songs such as "Last Train to Clarksville", "Take a Giant Step", "Stepping Stone", "I Want to be Free", "Valerii", "Words", "Tear Drop City", etc. Neil Diamond wrote of their single hits "I'm a Believer" and "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You". Also Carole King was a cowriter of the hits "Pleasent Valley Sunday" and "Theme from Head (Porpoise Song)"
