Groundbreaking stuff. You heard it here first. The Kinks had good some songs.
Ray Davies a very decent songwriter but I also enjoy "Death of a Clown" by the other brother (Dave?).
I like their hippy stuffOriginally Posted by Former Labour leader

I was there for this he was amazing..
fantastic & very moving, Waterloo Sunset, marvellous memories of the 60s.
Yes, yes, yes, it's my Autumn almanac.
I've got one CD of The Kinks - the Ultimate Collection, a greatest hits thing. There are 44 tracks on it, and not a single duff track. Recommended.
Face to Face, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society and Arthur are fantastic albums. The Kinks don't get nearly the respect they deserve.
Terrible dye job. Is he wearing make up too?
Hardly anyone in the crowd seems to know the words. Crazy.
For me one of the most influential bands ever.
Credited with inventing metal because of “that”
opening guitar riff but I will forgive them as they gave us Waterloo Sunset.
The Davies brothers were an odd pair though.
Always moaning
I didn't see anyone moaning. They seemed to be enjoying it.
Just looking for faults stop moaning.
Most will watch it but you have to pick faults..
Preferred them to the Beatles.
The song Days was sublime
I love love love them.
Waterloo Sunset and Days are so beautiful.
I also love The Village Green Preservation Society.
Totally agree with you mate. I love them too, probably even more now than at the height of their fame in the 60's and 70's.
As an aside, we got to know Jim Rodford and his family when he was with the Zombies until his untimely death a couple of years ago. Jim was also the bassist with the Kinks for nearly 20 years and we had quite a long chat one particular evening. I told him that I had seen the Kinks live once in Cardiff, during their Schoolboys in Disgrace tour. He said that was just before he joined the band but the concept of dressing up as a schoolboy was later usurped by Angus Young of AC/DC. As much as I liked Jim, I think he got that wrong, as Angus started doing that in 1974, a year before the Kinks' Schoolboys in Disgrace album was released.
Much like the Beatles songs, I never get fed up listening to the Kinks classics. Timeless.
Waterloo Sunset is a staggering song
Right up there with in my life by the scouse gits
Very clever guitar
The guitar on you really got me was played by Jimmy Page , later of Led Zep
An urban myth apparently Sludge. Even Page himself denied he played that riff.
It's two chords. F & G. Based around an E chord which is literally the first chord you learn. Even the changes are the same chord just moved up the neck. If your band needs to hire a session musician to play that, you're in big trouble.
Very true, plus the fact that Dave Davies slashed his amp in temper and inadvertantly came up with the distorted sound you hear on the record. Hardly likely that he would 'invent' this new sound and pass it on to another guitarist to replicate.
