    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.
    Very very cool!

    They were indeed a very good band Sludge. I love the music from this era, even though i was only born in 1964. From my early days as a seaman i was introduced to all the great music of this era from the older hands. To this day my favourite all time band are the Moody Blues, i have been binging on the latter lately.

    You sir are a treasure. Sadly, following the recent death of Graeme Edge, the band are unlikely to perform as the Moodies ever again. Still, a Justin Hayward solo concert is well worth going to even if his fantastic voice is not quite what it once was.

    Page was a session guitarist for lots of bands at the time

    Dave Davies has said Page wrote the riff

    Maybe to piss off his brother ? but he's said it

    I think the Kinks , like the Beatles , had lots of different sounds

    There is a reason why a lot of bands from any era are not praised , its because they could only play a few songs

    The Kinks went on to stadium rock in the 80s and 90s in the U.S.of A.
    Albums such as Low Budget ,Give the people what they want and my favourite
    State of Confusion charted in America but goot n0 aiir play in America,
    This is the last ever single To the bone 1994.Ray Davies reckoned he was going to call it 12inches and black.

    I don't recall seeing many shows at St David's Hall. Siouxsie & The Banshees. Nico/John Cooper Clarke are the only ones I remember.

    A good band, but a bit boring and dreary after a while. I'd rather Small Faces.

    Always thought Big Black Smoke was a brilliant arrangement/production as well as the lyrics being really good too.

    Of course I have. I still have some of their LPs.

    Re: The Kinks were a bloody good band

    One of my all time favourite bands. Waterloo Sunset has special nostalgic memories for me because as a student in London from '65 to '68 I lived near the Thames in Chelsea and there were some spectacular sunsets which I was able to view from my west-facing room and thinking of my girlfriend back home in Wales. Seems like only yesterday!
