Best 50 Kinks Songs
I’m sure there will be quibbles with this list, I certainly have some, but good read.

Probably the biggest miss for me. That and “Village Green”

Another good modern comparison to the Kinks is Blur - they're super English, there's a wistfulness to their music, they did a lot of different styles, both bands didn't get enough props from U.S. audiences. Ray Davies gave Blur his seal of approval and performed with them.

Big song.
That said, someone mentioned Picture Book earlier. I personally think this is absolutely top notch. Was never a single. Amazing.
The songs about a beautiful and headstrong prostitute is also rarely referenced. Monica.

the Kinks are vastly underrated
I saw them at the Sanger in the early 80’s
