Without a pivoting head of some sort, you can't shoot verticals. Moreover, the recommemded stance for holding a monopd is to brace it toward you at an angle. In effect, it and your two legs become a tripod. A head lets you tilt the monopod in this way and still shoot sraight ahead.

Unless you want a little extra height, or MUST have a quick release (why on a monopod?) then a head seems pointless.
