The Monkees.  Quite a few of those songs were great...

I was just thinking this when Daydream Believer was in a commercial this morning. Pleasent Valley Sunday, Shade of Grey, Not Your Stepping Stone were all solid.

I'm pretty sure I have a Minor Threat album with them covering that one.

Yes, you probably do.  Them and the Sex Pistols covered it.  I've got a version of a young Rollins singing it as well.

Stepping Stone was a staple for all the punk bands, Sex Pistols covered it even.

That's actually a cover song itself.  The great John Stewart wrote that particular Monkees song.

I'm sure there's a Daily Show joke in there somewhere...

Shrek and Donkey covered that one...."when I saw her face, now I'm a believer"
 
 I'm not saying they 'should' be, but I thought the Smiths would've been covered much more than they are.

I like Paul Revere and the Raiders version of "Stepping Stone" which pre-dated the Monkee's version.
 
 Not sure I'd like people doing Smiths covers, although if Kirsty MacCall were alive she would do a nice job on them.  Marti Jones could do a Smiths cover some serious justice.
 
 Other artists which could be covered more often, The Pretenders, Big Star, Replacements, Green Day...
