You really got me, All day and all of the night.
I loved the mid sixties music. Still do. Solid , no frills rock'n'roll.
Not so keen on later Kinks. Got too airy fairy for me.

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 was there for this he was amazing..
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.
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.
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.
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.
