There's not a single song The Kinks did in the 60's that I dislike, Ray Davies was an incredibly gifted and prolific writer and Dave Davies is such an underrated guitarist.

The most underrated band in rock history possibly. Ray Davies is a songwriter that few can be compared to , certainly in the same league as the very best of this generation. The depth of his lyrics and direct reflections of the social classes in post war England are unparalleled . This is likely what prevented the commercial success others enjoyed who wrote much less intelligent music. Furthermore he didn't rely on regurgitating American blues music to ship back the the US whitewashed.

Low Budget is a great album that successfully competed with Punk and Disco of the time.

Ahead of their time, misunderstood, and underappreciated. God help the human race. They just don't get it. Will always be my favorite band.

One of the greatest bands ever, with the catalog to prove it. Unfortunately, they shot themselves in the foot almost every chance they got, starting when they were banned from the US and keeping up right through to today with their bickering scuttling any hope of a reunion. If they had been a little shrewder and sensible, they might have been more recognized today.

One of the best British invasion bands. These guys have such a catalogue of genius songs. They were blessed having Ray Davies in the band. The Beatles & Rolling Stones had 2 great songwriters, the kinks only one.

Something Else, Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur, Muswell Hillbillies, Preservation, Lola Vs. Powerman and so much more. I"ve always said these guys are the second greatest of the British invasion bands. Everyone wants to pit the Stones against The Beatles but it isn't even close. The Kinks were far more creative than the Stones.

The reason the Kinks were barred from the US from 1965 thru 1969 was that one of the Davies brothers had an altercation in Sacramento during their 1965 North American Tour with a US musicians union rep who reported the incident. That ended the tour and put the ban in place.

Well with the exception of Dave Davies, every former member of the Kinks (including Ray) has performed with the 'Kast off Kinks', who are a fantastic live act and keep the original music very much alive.

i don't understand why the 3 studio albums "Sleepwalker" (1977), "Misfits" (1978) and "State Of Confusion" (1983) and the double live album "One For The Road" (1980) were not mentioned in this supposed thorough overview of the band. All 4 were great albums.
