The Kinks - Powerman

[actron]

No video necessary, of coarse.

[robertbatterson]

the most criminally under-rated band in brit rock history. ray is a genius. rock on boys.

[DailyAlice100]

i'm not rich and i'm not free but i got my girl and she's got me!

[mar9man7]

KInks best album, one of the greatest albums ever, saw them three times, all great shows.

[Bradyboy2005]

The Kinks are right up there with The Beatles, Stones, Zep, and The Who.

[HumblePie76]

I cringe when I think of KISS now, but those first few albums - especially the first 4 - rocked. In interviews, you always hear Paul and Gene cite the 60's and 70's British rock bands like Zeppelin, The Stones, Beatles, Cream for being the blue print of their sound. But you never hear them mention The Kinks.

KISS, like the Kinks, knew the importance of a riff.

[kdonatus1]

This is off one of the best albums of all time

[tomthefunky]

I always thought this sounded like early Kiss with Gene Simmons singing.

[HumblePie76]

@tomthefunky Good call! It sounds like Hotter Than Hell era Gene.

[tomthefunky]

@HumblePie76: Yeah, and when Dave sings he sounds just like Paul Stanley. And this is something like three or four years before Kiss was even a band. Wierd, isn't it?

[cookmoore]

pretty sweet!

[GnarlyMob]

great song

[JollyShells]

The Kinks are one of the greatest bands of all time and Ray Davies is a musical genius. Simple.

[GreenhouseEffectGE]

... its the same old story ..... -What a riff ! and great drumming from mick !

[BestOfTheBestNumber9]

if we fuck im going to feel like shit tommorow. I don't care, he said.

[987m654e321]

These boys could do no wrong. :D

[bealgre]

Awesome album! Probably my fave Kinks album, except for maybe "face to face", or"something else", or "arthur", or "muswell hillbillies" ,or "soap opera", or.......well you know what I mean. But thanks for the upload, great sound!!!

[DaDa2Phlux]

" it's the same old story -it's the same old game..."

[hughlaurie24]

I think of the amazing scene of The Darjeeling Limited, everytime I hear this song! It's awesome. Running in slow motion with suitcases flying around!

[blackhamster1009]

The one person who doesn't like this video is the Powerman

[ivycompton]

Here lies greatness.

[zaurtrien]

those kinks... giving me the chills with every song

[nomonotonous]

the darjeeling limited, on the road.

[HollywoodxFame]

i love this song

[Rationalranter]

"If you want money, better stand in the line, but your only ever pick-in up the nickels and dimes"

[mussman717word]

This song had to have influenced Black Sabbath, at least a little bit, right.

[bassist448]

@mussman717word Don't think so man. Black Sabbath's self titled album was released the same year as this album so it's highley unlikely it is. But there's always a possibility.

[maida1982a]

at the top of their game on this album, where the songwriting and the musicianship were on par with each other and the production really brought that out. Stellar stuff, this album is so diverse with no wasted moments at all-

[lbuerman]

I saw the Kinks at the US festival in 1981/82. They were great. great lead guitatist.

[GnarlyMob]

this songs the shit

[ivycompton]

This makes me want to have a nonstop Kinks marathon - just drown in Ray and the boys' amazing sounds.

[meouter1]

@ivycompton I fully agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bendobrin]

how good is this? again, not to be redundant but none of my vinyl sounds anywhere as good as this and it usually sounds superior to the digital stuff,

thanx for posting this.

[sanemikav]

where can i find lyrics to this?

[dildodave5000]

@sanemikav Google. obviously

[Lowebrau]

RAD!!!! Epic intro!!

[Benedicted]

I think this is possibly my fav Kinks song, maybe after Waterloo Sunset

[SPrainbow]

The beat is the best!!

[HumblePie76]

The Kinks knew how to write a ROCKIN' riff.

[loganclaws444]

This was a great song to end the darjeeling limited there is no way they could replace it

[LedZep2324]

i love you too, but im gonna mace you in the face!

[gsboss]

i lolled

[qrlosyahoocom]

hmmm ive been wondering..........is it lolled, loled or lol'd???

im thinking we should start the international standard of lol'd

[wegottajumper3333]

@LedZep2324 hahahah that and "im gonna pray in another thing" best 2 lines

[jaimebarr]

"What's wrong with you?"

"Let me think about that, I'll tell you next time I see you"

[requiredattention]

@jaimebarr what are those quotes from?

[RamblinTroubadour]

@requiredattention The Darjeeling Limited - this song features on the soundtrack

[raudhre]

@RamblinTroubadour

to be totally honest, i never realized i was a fan of the kinks until i saw that movie.

[matpon187]

@raudhre

word, Darjeeling is Wes Anderson's best movie imo

[hoothesioad12]

fuck! this song is great

[thelmasss]

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EdzoMan]

Twists, turns, humor & risk: What GREAT rock 'n roll is all about!

WHERE IS TODAY'S EQUIVALENT?

[qrlosyahoocom]

@EdzoMan twisting and turn that big booty ass, as you laugh stickin' your dick in it and risking that you might get her pregnant cause you were too loose goosed to use protection........that's where

[Guinness4h2o]

@EdzoMan MGMT? least they're giving it a shot...

[isolationblues]

Great song, great message.

[mdoob11]
