I was driving in this morning listening to the Low Budget CD from '79 so I decided I would share.

Enjoy ;p

YOUTUBE in caps inside of the brackets, then the Youtube video number then the slash YOUTUBE in the brackets. Don't really know that it has to be caps, I just have always used caps.

The album that apeman is off of is "Lola versus the Powerman (and Moneygoround)"

Excellent album that was very much overlooked in it's time

Huge Kinks fan...

My faves... in no particular order other than love, love, love, and love

Village Green Preservation Society
Muswell Hillbillies
Something Else by the Kinks
Arthur, or the decline and fall of the British Empire
Lola vs Powerman and the moneygoround

I just have a best of, i need to get more.

I saw the movie Pirate Radio (good one by the way) recently and they have a couple of good Kinks songs on there that got me back interested recently.. The Turtles as well.

Ray Davis was one of the greats when it came to writing lyrics that reflected society.

What do you mean "was"? Ray Davies is still a live and rocking and still writing.

BlackCrayon · 04-28-2011, 12:22 PM

this is one of my favorite kink tunes..

some other good ones that haven't been posted//

PR_Glen · 04-28-2011, 12:32 PM

I always like come dancing too

EonBlue · 04-28-2011, 12:41 PM

Wow. Never thought I'd see a Kinks thread on GFY.

My favourite band of all time. Often ahead of their time, doing their own thing and always in the shadow of the better known groups. But their influence on music over the past 40 years is huge. Their best output from 1966-1971 is right up there with the rest of the best music of all time.

There are so many good ones to post.

You beat to a few of those while I was making my post. Stopped to listen for too long.

fitzmulti · 04-28-2011, 12:44 PM

The KINKS fucking rocked!
I shot a couple of their concerts in early 80's, and they really put on great shows!

Indeed.

Sunny Day · 04-28-2011, 02:51 PM

The Kinks were great.
When Ray Davies did the song/video "Come Dancing" I again thought what a great band.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 04-28-2011, 03:07 PM

Although Ray Davies gets much of the songwriting credit, Dave Davies is a good composer in his own right. I really liked his solo album "Glamour":

The Kinks were always an entertaining live act too...

Not a big fan of Dave's later solo output, but you are right he was a good songwriter in his own right. Some of his stuff with the Kinks is great:
