Music And Records: The Monkees
Written by the hit machine of Boyce and Hart and recorded in Studio 1 at Hollywood’s Western Recorders (with members of the Wrecking Crew in tow), Steppin’ Stone was a Top 20 hit for the Monkees in 1966. It was the first B-side to make the charts from TV show that begot a band.
Written to the epitome of pop simplicity (I-III-IV-VI in EM, repeated to death) and appropriately covered by the Sex Pistols, this song was actually recorded previously by Paul Revere and The Raiders.

A fantastic garage rocker covered by countless bands that sounds great years after it was written. BTW – Paul Revere’s version is, IMHO, the better version – sounds more raw and gritty.
