Not punk, just rock😿RIP

I'm 72, and agree with this, my band was the Small Faces, but the Kinks preceded them, and when we heard 'You really Got me' at 14 years old it blew us away.

it took very inventive songwriting and playing to rock this hard before guitar distortion was invented, She loves you, I wanna hold ur hand, the early Kinks and The Who, wow, they figured it out the best... then that style of songwriting went away after distortion was created and widely adapted and it became much easier to rock out and play long leads.

Ray and Dave Davies are the Godfather's of Heavy Metal.

Well, what about The Troggs as hard rock group ?

Still are.

Women were fit to

the invention of the guitar effect called distortion is what changed everything from 66 on but no one seems to realize this.

@@joejones9520 Tube amps distort! It was using it on recordings heavily that changed things.

@@FlipDahlenburg that is not distortion like what is meant by distortion, it seems everyone is stretching the meaning of distortion so much that soon beethoven and mozart will have been the first to use it

I have to agree with you.

Nice toof

Fanx

XD lol

I agree with most of what you say but I disagree about stretching musical boundaries. It's documented that the Beatles experimented with over 40 different types of music during their career.

Psychadelia - see my friends

Adam Faith was there too. He was big back then!

Seen it! That girl is trouble!

This was pre-conditioner for hair, poor girl.

Right on nothing but the best❤😢😢🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

Song for song, The Kink Kontroversy is one of the greatest records of the 60s.

It was a favorite of mine for a long time back in the sixties. I had a portable record player and I listened to it constantly.

It was the opening track the first two times I saw them

Should have bought a 45 single - like I did

Union issues in the USA hurt them tremendously. They were basically black balled.

@@bcrater6400 I was in the radio business during their reign and never heard that. However, I just did some research and found this on Wikipedia: "Following a mid-year tour of the United States, the American Federation of Musicians refused permits for the group to appear in concerts there for the next four years, effectively cutting off the Kinks from the main market for rock music at the height of the British Invasion.[3][49] Although neither the Kinks nor the union revealed a specific reason for the ban, at the time it was widely attributed to their rowdy on-stage behaviour. It has been reported that an incident when the band were taping Dick Clark's TV show Where the Action Is in 1965 led to the ban. Ray Davies recalls in his autobiography, "Some guy who said he worked for the TV company walked up and accused us of being late. Then he started making anti-British comments. Things like 'Just because the Beatles did it, every mop-topped, spotty-faced limey juvenile thinks he can come over here and make a career for himself.'"; subsequently a punch was thrown and the AFM banned them."

This was one of my favorite songs growing up. I imagine that I was, about, 14. I think it was on the B side of one of their singles, if my memory serves me correctly.

It's my favorite Kinks song. Should have been a much bigger hit.

Music was overtly sexual for the first time without being buried in metaphor and innuendo. The girl went wild.

It's the gold lame pants, hot.

You may well be right, but the women in The Seventies and later decades, even up into the year 96446 were nice, too, until -Well, you perhaps remember what happened with the milk float?-Also, your point about women in The Sixties being sexier than the passing fair damsels of today, merely proves my point about Taylor; a point about which I am not at liberty to divulge lest the Silver People at Camelot revoke my Tardis licence.

Women were hotter

Remember it well at 65! Where the time go?

The best never to be repeated.

Started work at 16 was an apprentice butcher it was a.nice early summer afternoon and sunny afternoon came on the radio joyous times time machine back please

The Kinks got banned from the USA. Not sure why. Maybe just the name !

@@davidlamb7524 Very strange...and I didn't know why.... by the way, The Kinks inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

@@davidlamb7524 Union bs. Otherwise they would have been as big as the Who or Stones over here.

When hell raisers fought in bars and destroyed pub crawls to legendary music like this. RIP Oliver Reed 1938-1999.

Oh yeh

I was 6 or 7.

WFIL and WIBG were great Philly stations!

Not so much psych. But I love The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society. One of my favourite records of all time

Right on 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Don't forget The Troggs

The who, the hollies, small faces, the searches, the yardbirds and a long etc.....

Those girls are now great grandmothers ,great time the sixties I was born 1950 ,where have all those years gone .married in 69 to cute skinny gorgeous blond ,still am still love her

Me too ! Mostly overweight with the obligatory tattoos and un feminine dress sense 🥴

Spot on mate women and tattoos what's all that about

Amen brother. Amen!

So what film has this clip been lifted? Is the Bardot look-alike is Shirley Ann Field?

@@lovetarantulas Beat Girl also known as "Wild for Kicks" The blond actress was Gillian Hills. Shirley Anne Field is the brunette with the square cut top jiving with the guy not wearing a tie. "An impetuous teenage girl becomes involved with Soho's beatnik and striptease scenes to spite her staid architect father and her French ex-stripper stepmother." Hilariously bad in places, you can pay to view it on KZfaq but I really wouldn't bother.

@@jeffreycrawley1216 Her grandfather was Boleslaw Lesmian, considered Poland's greatest poet and her dad, Denis Hills, was a famous English adventurer.

Great Spot there, I also saw Barbra strisland at 2.17 as well, And i'm also tempted to think Andy fairweather low was in there as well. Glad someone recocnised gillian hills as well.

sorry i meant barbra Streisland at 0.39

They have never been 'Ray Davies & the Kinks'.

@@YorkyOne What I meant is that creatively, Ray dominated. He did most of the vocal solos. too.

Grunge?

@@hansmalcolmsen2244 Grunge, garage, whatever. The Electric Prunes were pioneers too. They just didn't realize it. :--))

@@willemvandeursen3105 Once again; GRUNGE?!

Take a listen to Waterloo Sunset

Don’t forget, ‘All day and all of the night’

I agree 100% with @Colin Pumpernickel … this one also has distinctive chord changes and a terrific guitar solo. A total gem.

Cheers Chasbo!

I agree. Always, one of my favorite songs from the Kinks. They transition, smoothly, through many motifs. It carries you. A good song is, always, a little journey.

Looks pretty much like swinging London mods of the mid 1960s. Great tune. Very groovy chicks.

For me the video looks around 5 years earlier. Nobody was still jiving in '65 and the twist was also over by then.

@@davidlamb7524 Why?

Clearly it never “came out when the song was released”. It’s a 1965 record by the Kinks, whereas this particular video (enjoyable though it is) seems to have cobbled together by a KZfaq enthusiast from multiple 1960s sources - including LATE 1960s colour film newsreel (I believe from Pathé’s library), and extracts from “Beat Girl” (1960 b/w UK film).
