I love the Kinks. Raw, gritty and bluesy.

Why fight? The kinks are one of the true talents that came out of England in the 60s and had plenty of staying power all of the way until mid 80s. They never get the respect other acts do, but always get mentioned as influential.

With humor and fun. Something that is missing these days.

The underrated albums of an underrated band: Everybody's In Show-biz, Preservation Act I & II. I feel like people are starting to get the brilliance of Face To Face through Lola, but they are so much more than that.

I saw the Kinks at UNO in 1984 and it was a solid show.
They only played NOLA 5x's and never the same venue:

1984 - UNO
1981 - Saenger
1979 - Municipal Aud.
1978 - Warehouse
1976 - McAllister Aud. Tulane Campus

Where Have All the Good Times Gone a Kinks original and later covered by VH and Bowie.

I dig 'em. Their early recordings are so poorly recorded, that they're dirty sounding. ...in a good way.

This was the b-side for “Dedicated Follower Of Fashion”. Killer.

The Kinks and The Animals are two band that had time machines. You swear their early 60s stuff has to be from at least 10 years later. No one else was going anywhere near as hard as that and no one else has aged better.
