Most rock historians list "Strange Days" by the Doors as the first - Jim 
Morrison plays Moog on the title track (the album was released in 
September 1967, two months before the "Monkees" album). Jim, BTW, got 
the instrument from synthesizer pioneer Paul Beaver of Beaver & Krause.
There are rumours that The Beach Boys used a Moog on "Good Vibrations", 
but it was neither a Moog nor a Theremin - I've heard Bob Moog confirm 
this in a lecture - but an Electro-Theremin, a modified Theremin built 
by Paul Tanner with a physical slider for tone control (much like the 
Ondes Martenot).
