Unbelievable shows in Boston Garden and Providence Civic Center. There’s video of a couple of Songs from Providence on KZitem. Those Davies Brothers had there problems but when they played boy , they were all in all the time. You can have the Beatles and the Stones. I’ll take the Kinks every time. God Bless the Kinks.

@MiamiBeach xxx not really below them though. Plus your comparing a duo of writers to Ray, if Ray had someone of his caliber writing with him your comparison would be a bit more fair. Dave Davies did write good songs but to keep the Beatles analog going Dave was more like George. Great songs but not full albums consistently.

Hmm... I think that Davies was a better lyricist than any of the Beatles and his (60s) music was nearly as good. I think The Kinks' 60s music was better than The Stones and The Who and that Davies was the equal of Jagger and Richards and Townshend as a lyricist. However, this song... I think that Charlie Watts could've written it. 😆
@allbottledup9513
Жыл бұрын
@@blackmore4 I partly agree. I think Kinks had the best 60’s music OVERALL, despite The Who and Beatles occasionally outshining them. All four bands are spectacular of course, but the Stones and Who didn’t hit their prime until the 70’s by which time the Beatles were already gone. To me, the really impressive part is the sheer amount of great material the Kinks continued to put out - twice the material of The Who and Beatles, 3x as good as anything the Stones ever did with select exceptions! For context on my opinions, for me it goes The Who, The Kinks, The Beatles and lastly the Stones! All great!
