Ray Davies is one of the greatest front men who ever took the stage. I've seen the Kinks and Bob Dylan live at different times. Bob doesn't hold a candle to Ray when it comes to working the crowd into an absolute frenzy. Dylan just stands there -- the crowd didn't get into him.

@Shellback41 14 жыл бұрын

@fenderstratguy You're not being clear. The fact he's playing to 50,000 speaks volumes. He's not 'angry Bob' anymore, he goes out and plays a vast catalogue of songs, usually different arrangements each night. I love these two fine songwriters in equal measure. The Kinks got ridiculously banned from touring the US around 1965, so Ray changed musical direction and retreated into the old England of his youth (Village Green PS) and the London scene of the late 60s ( a fine example being this).

@KateJayR 5 жыл бұрын

The thing is though @Michele Alba, they should say that when uploading it to KZfaq e.g. live performance from 1973. Otherwise people not in the know think the year is when it was first released. This happens a lot in KZfaq uploads i.e. uploading songs with the wrong year attached.

@KateJayR 5 жыл бұрын

@Michele I'm glad you decided to delete your other message but it came through my email anyway. Some of us just think it's important to have the correct year for the song. I am unashamedly nerdy about it. Most people just look at the song and the year at the top so yes, if the year is inaccurate, explain it was from a live performance. In this instance, it then would have been correct. But too many people upload songs with the wrong year attached and it's highly annoying

@Dukegrievousangel Lyrics are only part of the song. Comparing the Beatles and the Kinks is apples and oranges. Different messages; Ray Davies was more in tune with the day to day absurdities in life, while the Beatles, in particular George, invoked awareness of a much bigger picture. And the Kinks couldn't come close to the melodies the Beatles created.

@fenderstratguy OK so it's 100x better, but it's a Dylan song...so? Dylan's songs have been covered by innumerable bands and have also given longevity to certain bands careers, The Byrds, Manfred Man to name some. He was and remains arguably the most influential songwriter of the last 50 years. You may say his voice is fucked...maybe but he's 70 years old, but more importantly, like many of the old blues singers that influenced Bob himself, it's got shitloads of soul. Take it easy fella :-)
