Nice one Right track. I'm listening to The Kinks Story.

they're great!
i mean they made so many of the songs i liked but never knew anything about!

By far the Kinks were the best of the British Invasion........

Kinks are amazing. Wouldnt say they were better than the beatles but so what?! Still makes them a top group!

Yeah the kinks are a great band, but i wouldn't say better than the Beatles or the Yardbirds,, maybe the yardbirds,,,,but they're close.....

the riff's on all day & all of the night and you really got me are to me the birth of heavy rock. the distortion on the guitars is very reminiscent and influential to many of todays metal bands. and i also think the kinks did the whole britpop thing way before the 90s.

Led Zep, your dead right ! The riff on 'You Really Got Me', was the first variation of the blues that can lay claim to being 'THE' first ever rock riff.
It had never been done before.
I've said this before in your thread on the Kinks, that they are the most British of British bands. The Kinks invented Britpop!

They definatly did, man. In fact, I'm listening to "Death of a Clown" right now.

the kinks
 

bought a best of 2 cd thing the other, pretty cool stuff on it. im pretty keen to further my knowledge on this band, so id like to know the names of really great kinks albums, to avoid being dissapointed.- juan
