I grew up with the music from the British Invasion. The Kinks were huge & had a lot of hits. I especially love their music from the 60's & 70's. "You Really Got Me", "All Day & All Of The Night", "Set Me Free", "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion", "Tired Of Waiting For You", "A Well Respected Man", "Waterloo Sunset", "Dead End Street", "Autumn Almanac" etc.

The Kinks are one of the truly great bands of all time. And one of the most influential. They pretty much invented hard rock with "You Really Got Me", and then into devastating character observations mostly to the tune of incredibly catchy music. And I love "Strangers" too man. Everyone will have recommended the obvious songs, so I'll lay a few deep cuts on you, Biz. Try these ones out man: "Shangri-La", "See My Friends", "Big Black Smoke", "Dead End Street", "Days", "Picture Book", "Plastic Man", "This Time Tomorrow", "20th Century Man", "Sitting In My Hotel Room", "Days", "David Watts", "Acute Paranoia Schizophrenia Blues" and...well that's probably enough for now. The Kinks are rock music's best kept secret.

This is meant to make fun of a wealthy ne'er-do-well, part of the British upperclass and what he see's as problems, which aren't really problems. He's the problem. Sung in such a delightful, laid back, dreamy way. He just wants to carry on and forget about it all. The chorus is so wonderful and catchy. You can't help but sing it and of course, we all love to live so pleasantly and would love a life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon in the summertime. Oh, yeah. There is a saying "No whining on the yacht".

Ray Davies has said that one of the proudest moments in his life was listening to 100k people singing Sunny Afternoon at Wembley Stadium when England won the World Cup. He was 21 or 22. Ray was eventually knighted for his service to Art and the Kinks were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame the year they became eligible.

Your image of the guy with dark sun glasses with the world crashing around him is pretty spot on. Sunny Afternoon is from a semi-concept album about a guy who worked hard, made his money, bought the house in the country, and then the money went to his head and he ruined his life. It is kind of lost innocence. Before Christmas, you gotta play the world's greatest Christmas rock song: Father Christmas by the Kinks. If you want a 60s funny, try Dedicated Follower of Fashion. So many good Kinks songs. You will get a lot more subscribers if you play them!

The Kinks and Ray Davies were seriously talented. A number of his songs are rather clever commentaries on society ("Lola" is another one). The subject of this song comports nicely with the Beatles' "Taxman". You might want to listen to the Kinks' "Ape Man" which is also another social commentary song couched in an artful parody.

00:55 that knowing look like “oh, we’re going there!?” 😂 It’s so weird, I couldn’t shake one tiny part of this song out of my head for days. I couldn’t even place the song. I asked my parents and they were like “oh! That’s the Kinks”. Listened for the first time all the way through and I’m obsessed. It’s really clever cos it kind of hooks you with that line like it’s relatable, then he starts going on about his stately home and his yacht 😂 but it’s still relatable by that first line and it’s so damn catchy.
@papercup25178 ай бұрын
Yes, the rich have a hard life...and get so little sympathy... until this... The Kinks were very much a working class North London band, and Ray Davies (who wrote and was lead vocalist on almost all the Kinks songs) has a wonderful observational sense of humour and whimsical way of looking at the world. He could conjure a whole life history in a few well chosen words. Waterloo Sunset is probably my favourite Kinks song, although I've noticed Americans don't all respond to it the way us Brits do. The references to ordinary scenes and ordinary people in London may be more relatable to us, striking deep into our minds and hearts. If you do decide to give it a listen, I recommend going for the studio version first. More upbeat early bangers from the Kinks include You Really Got Me - their first big hit. Another incredible song about our fair capital city is a little thing called Streets of London by the folk musician/one time busker Ralph McTell. It's a beautiful song that takes a compassionate look at the forgotten ones living on the streets in the 'swinging' 1960s. Maybe a timely one for the festive season. If you can find it there's a brilliant video of it on YT with lots of B&W photos/ footage of the real people the song calls us to consider.

There are alot of great music from Kinks in the 70 also even if they didn't chart as they did in the 60. Mushwell Hillbillies 71/11, Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues, Holiday and Alcohol Everybody's in Showbiz 72/09, The two lovely Sitting in My Hotel and Look a little on the Sunny Side and of course Celluloid Heroes Preservation Act 1 from 73/11 is a little odd LP with more brass but it's one of my favorites. Cricket is a song that stands out. Sleepwalker 1977/02 and the first song Life on the Road with the line "And so I searched night and day To catch a kissable lady, But all that I caught was a cold," I think Ray Davies stands out when it comes to write about every day life like in Jo-Jo from 82/01 Give the People What They Want, About the husband coming home to his wife from work....... "He sits in the armchair, watching channel 4, His brains not expected home for an hour or more." Face to Face and The Village Green Preservation Society are fantastic LP's from the 60.....and one more, Misfit the first track from Misfits from 78. Good luck in the Kinks jungle.
