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.Originally Posted by Wash DC Blue
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.
