killer. blatantly lifts the riff from i can't explain by the who, who blatantly lifted it from these guys. i think ray davies once said something like: poseurs borrow, but true artists steal.
First album I ever bought, The Kinks One for the Road. Double album, came with a huge ass poster of the shows, had it hung over the headboard of my bed for at least 5 years. ...I miss albums
Wow, your comment brought back a flood of memories, Jellogel. I was twelve when One For the Road came out and it was one of, if not the first, double albums I ever bought with my own money. Those double albums were expensive when we were that age and yep, I had the poster on my wall for years also. WAYY-OHH!!!!!
This song came out in 1975, so it beat the late 70s punk revolution by a couple of years. Great song anyway, punk or no punk. The studio version sounds more garage rock and could fit right in on the Nuggets set.
The KinKs, Ray Davies,+ Dave Davies = The Best always, and forever, God save the KinKs!
I remain Dan the Fan, aka Frank Lima, The Montvale, New Jersey Hillbilly Boy..ps the kinks don;t have to cpmpete with anyone or anybody they set the benchmark for every one else and so far no one even comes close, they have always been and still are the most important and relevent band in all of rock and roll history, and one thing is for sure Ray Davies, The KinKs & their fans, ARE NOT LIKE EVERBODY ELSE!
these guys were punk long before there ever was punk, they didn't overcompensate anything. If anything they set the standard for punk and new wave, why do think Chrissy Hynde covered Stop Your Sobbing. And if you take the time to check out the studio version of this song it is much slower
Excuse me? This song was released almost a year before "The Ramones" (albeit in a slower version.) I'm with zeets93; the Kinks are the fathers of punk in many ways. If Van Halen hadn't unfortunately hijacked "You Really Got Me" it might be widely recognized as the first punk song, well over ten years before the movement came along. So if anyone deserves to punk up a version of one of their songs, it's the Kinks!
Was there anything better than a live Kinks show in the late 70s to early 80s? When Dave would walk out on that plank and solo his brains out I would lose my mind.
just awesome

One for the Road is my favorite Kinks album and an essential live music collection for any music fan.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Here's the Kinks trying to compete with the punk/new wave scene of the late '70s. Rather overcompensating on this number.

I could do without the mask, though.
