My youngest discovered my kinks collection (one for the road live) forgot how good they were!

Not listened to them for at least 15-20 years !

Local to me being Muswell Hill

One of my favourite bands

Awesome band both musically and lyrically.

Love them! Went to see the musical recently and that was ace as well.

Superb band, one of the best at telling stories about their surroundings in songs, in a very English fashion.
Genesis did similar but about a more fantastical England. Madness are not dissimilar, although a different style again.

one of my favourite bands especially their early stuff, much better that the Beatles in my opinion

Always preferred them to that Liverpool outfit too.

One of my favourite bands.Ray Davis is a fantastic song writer.

If you like the Kinks, you have to see the musical. You will love it.

Victoria is in my all time top 10.

Love the kinks

for me falls in the category of “bands I didn’t get at the time”
my older brother tried to educate me

as said Ray Davis’s songwriting stands out as something very special

edit maybe not the best example but always enjoy this, a man who loves his music:

I bumped into Ray Davis on the Fortis Green road!!!!
O.p.- Get yourself down the Clissold Arms and embrace the Kinks “lounge”. 😯
Timothy Taylor LL used to be good there….

Love the Kinks. Got to see them back in 1980/81 when I was 13/14 (and they were young too).

Ace.

Waterloo sunset, you really got me, lola (really didn’t get those lyrics as a kid but loved thensong) are in my all time, play these whenever life is good or bad, favourites list. Along with the Specials and Led Zeppelin.

My kid did that with my ‘greatest hits’ CD When he was 5. Loves them. It’s quite satisfying knowing he prefers them to some of the crap his pals listen to.
