The Monkees' pop progeny have built on the group's knack for sticky melodies, jangly guitars, and—most importantly—unbridled exuberance. Their sunny, carefree DNA is there in Supergrass' relentlessly upbeat “Alright,” while Hanson inherit their sugary bounce and toothy vocals on “MMMBop.” Weezer echo their sly humor and sparkling hooks on “Buddy Holly,” and The Jayhawks reflect their twangier country-rock side with “I'd Run Away.”
