You must dig all of the Kinks' hits - "All the Day and All of the Night", "Tired of Waitin' for You", "Sunny Afternoon", "Lola" (!). and many more!

One of the more important songs in rock history!

This is the "Rappers Delight" equivalent for the birth of heavy guitar music. It may seem simplistic compared to those who followed, but that's what roots are: no roots. no branches. 1964!

The fuzzed-out guitar (created by Dave Davies' slicing the cone in his amp with a razor blade) helped to launch heavy metal. For real. Ozzy Osbourne was absolutely blown away by this band, and I think this song in particular.

'Sunny Afternoon' by the Kinks is probably one of the best songs ever. Highly recommend, cheers!

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

The Kinks were a great sounding group and very popular in the mid 60 s. They made many good songs and inspired many a band who came after them.

I love the Kinks they got a great sound

this was in 1964 and a forerunner of hard rock- Kinks music is a really deep rabbit hole they had so many hits like Misfits, Pictures of Lily, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Low Budget, I wish I Could Fly Like Superman, Rock n Roll Fantasy

I'm British and the Kinks are one of the first bands I remember hearing. A lot of there music is observational and very intelligent/ clever . Listen to the words !

Great song, great group! Van Halen did a great cover of this early 80s. I enjoy both versions

Best Rock Riff ever. KINKS forever! Hear Waterloo Sunset

for their 80's sound try Come Dancing.

This birth of heavy metal in 1964 is due to Dave Davies (who played the guitar solo) slashed the cone in his amplifier with a razor to get that distorted guitar sound.

This song makes me smile every stinking time I hear it (or see it). SO good! Thank you.

Thanks for the verry good music! The Kinks: Lola, Sunny afternoon, All day and all of the night, Waterloo sunset, Death of the clown, Dedicated fullover of fashion, Apeman, Days, and other smash songs..

Hendrix loved this, borrowed the distortion and was a good friend of the guitarist Dave Davies.

They liked to fight and make music, when I saw them they did both. Fantastic band.

_IF_ i'd been around in the mid 60's as a teenager, there's no doubt I would have been well into The Kinks.

Van Halen did a great cover of 'You really got me' from 1978 🔥🔥🔥🤘 The Kinks were a British band from the 1960's... their guitar sound was very influential to rock bands of that decade. Weird Al Yankovic made a parody of the Kinks' song 'Lola' ... (Weird Al remade it 'Yoda' about 'Star Wars' 😂)

Another great song by The Kinks is Lola. Van Halen did a cover of You Really Got Me.

The British Invision of the 60's. Good memories! ❤

The Kinks, one of the best bands, ever!!!!!!!

Good to see y’all reacting to songs no one else is doing! Sure brings back lots of memories! Thanks!

Hi guys, have you heard Pictures Of Matchstick Men by then named The Status Quo. They later dropped "The" to Statue Quo. It was their first hit done in 1968 which launched their carrier, I think you will enjoy, cheers.

IIRC Ray tells the story that he spotted a woman in the crowd at a gig - she was amazing, totally different. As soon as the concert was over he rushed out front of stage to find her, but she was gone. He never saw her again, but he couldn't stop thinking about her.. No matter what he did, for a long, long time he couldn't get her out of his head... She'd really got him.... :-)

As soon as a new Kinks song came out in the 60s I went out and immediately bought the record on 7 inch vinyl. GREAT times.

unequalled brilliance,legendary uk band

The Kinks were the first punk group. Nobody knew it then. Their simple intense riffs, their working class attitude. You get who they are with no apologies. They were doing the Ramones way before the Ramones. Which reminds me.... the Ramones? Have y'all done the Ramones? I say start with Sheena is a Punk Rocker.

Such an iconic 60s song

You two are fun! Thanks

My first love in music ,and I still say Ray Davies was the best songwriter of the sixties!

The Kinks,The quintessential London band.

Another great song by the "Kinks" is called "Lola" Yall should play that one sometime. It's quite different, but a really cool(if not a bit weird) song, but it's really Another good one by the "Kinks". By the way, yall are so cute together 😄 ❤

The Kinks have over twenty albums worth of music to choose from and a wide variety of song styles. Mirror of Love features all kinds of horns. Muswell Hillbilly is pretty much American folk music. Personally I think I'm Not Like Everybody Else helped start early punk and if I remember right was the opening song for the series The Supranos. All kinds of great songs scattered through all the years. The Low Budget album in my opinion is one of the top ten albums all time. You can't go wrong with any song on that album. THe album was released mid to late seventies but many of the songs are relevant today. A lot of bands have covered Kinks songs. A really good cover is First Aid Kit-Waterloo Sunset.

It definitely took Ray Davies voice & songwriting along with his brother Dave Davies amazing driving guitar to create the sound that identified the Kinks

Another good one with the Kinks.. They've got some good ones...

the drummer is the late session drummer Bobby Graham(on the record)

What a rabbit hole to go down try lola and come dance with me great songs from the kinks

Ah, yes! The British Invasion. The Kinks' "Well Respected Man" was on the radio when I got my military draft notice and every aspect of my life was changing. The sixties were all about change. Anyway, "Waterloo Sunset" is a very British-sounding song by the Kinks, and I liked it for some reason. It's just one of a number of Kinks songs you may explore.

Salt and Pepa borrowed from this song in Push It. "Boy you really got me goin. You got me so I don't know what I'm doin. Ah push it...."

"Well respected man"

Superman is what you want - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS!

In addition to a few other Kinks songs, if you really like the sound then Paul Revere and the Raiders is worth checking out, especially "Just Like Me."

Van Halen doing this is tantamount to the Eisley Brothers doing Lay Lady Lay...

LOVE the Cap America t shirt my faV AVENGER

Yasssss! The Kinks! British invasion baby! I was a little girl when this was televised. Lyrics were romantic set to funky rhythms. Having a man be mesmerized by me was my standard! 😹 Of course I would be smitten too! Glad I didn't settle, got my lover for about 40 years and we still danced under the moonlight last night! I really got him! 🎶

So many songs! Well Respected Man, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Dead End Street, Where Have All the Good Times Gone, Days. I’ve not seen any reactions to these Kinks songs.

Dave grabbed that guitar like he was wrestling a grizzly bear

I recommend The Sonics Have love, will travel from 1964... earliest punk rock song!

ya'll always lift my spirits up - thank you so much!!!

☮️💜

Keep the oldies coming!!!!

1964 London I was there :)

❤️🥰❤️ ~ Love you both, Always ~ Laura💖

Ray and Dave Davies. The fabulous Kinks. Dave's guitar solo didn't come thru loud enough in this reaction. Check out the Kinks Paris 1965....."Long Tall Shorty". Love the Kinks. The Brits sure knew what to do with American blues and rhythm and blues. A shot in the arm for our own homegrown roots music in the mid 1960s. Ray and Dave Davies are the best. "Waterloo Sunset" is one of Dave Davies finest songs in a long list of original rockers by the Kinks.

You guys make me so happy!

Try Supersonic Rocket Ship along with other songs of theirs

🤘🏻😎

Another great band from the United Kingdom!

Another great song to dance to ♥️

The Letter by The Box Tops

Van Halen covered this song very well! I think you'd like it also!

React to Lola by The Kinks also all day and all of the night and Waterloo Sunset

You have to smile at the primitive guitar solo.

Waterloo Sunset, all I have to say

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You should listen to The kinks song LOLA!

The lead singer and lead guitarist are brothers.

Check out the Yardbirds if you haven't already.

British 60's invasion, check out Lola

If you want to increase your subscribers don't pause the videos. Wait until the end of the song to give your review.

Try Lola, its terrific

Do Western Flyer song "Cherokee Highway" (the video)

Please check out Don't Let Me Down by The Beatles

Check out Destroyer!

Do the troggs wild thing they have a video of it

Van Halen does a cool cover of this song

You should listen and do a video song called here comes the rattle snakes by wendy bagwell it's a funny video

Too bad the beginning was cut off. I think it sets up the entire song.

why are people suggesting groups live? this is not what people were listening to,,,,,,,,,you should hear the studio versions they are almost always much better than flat tv show versions..........

The destroyer is a good song but them too

PLEASE---The Beatles :) Everyone copies them

Song about sex and lust from 1964. Lol.

Lot of fun, dear couple, so cool . The same fun time you`ll get too, when you guys compare with th Van Halen cover, back in 1978 featured in ther debut album. The solo Eddy`s guitar, and David Lee Roth voice, is simply, smashing, a kick ass cover. Lot of fun guaranteed, that`s for sure.

Can you please react to Tears for fears song called Closest thing to heaven Please

Rumor has always had it that Jimmy Page, studio guitarist of the day, did the solo on the record. You know him from Zepplin. Shel Tamney, who produced The Who and the Kinks (the reason You Really Got Me sounds exactly like Can't Explain) used Jimmy a lot.

react to Van Halen's version of this song!! Especially the beginning!!

Studio version's better. The Links are such an iconic band, one of the greatest rock bands in the world, Van Halen, did a terrific cover of this song.

I love Van Halens cover better.
