The Kinks - Stop Your Sobbing - 1964

[mtscally77]

It's like the Stones and the Beatles joined forces one day...to beat up the Kinks...but the Kinks win right here with this one.

@antdigger : ...*facepalm*

[daithemove]

So good. .His clipped style

[just1again]

@antdigger- you ARE joking, aren't you?

[antdigger]

These guys ripped off The Pretenders.

[geduk123]

gosh never realised this was originally a Kinks track. That Ray Davies chap is very talented.

[coldsteel41]

[LIBERTINEPARANOIC]

[RayPaganJr]

Pretenders kick ass. They can make any original better, even Creep by Radiohead.

[thekillers1stfan]

@RayPaganJr The Kinks will beat The Pretenders any time any place btw Radiohead sucks dick

[RayPaganJr]

@thekillers1stfan And I bet your daddy is better than my daddy too. Golly gee.

[thekillers1stfan]

@RayPaganJr i'm sorry when you posted that were you not expecting people to say otherwise?

[RayPaganJr]

@thekillers1stfan I enjoy both the Kinks and Pretenders. Both very good bands. The way you phrased your sentence just sounds childish. Read it again. Perhaps you'll understand.

[spacepatrolman]

@thekillers1stfan The kinks have had it they made too many bad albums and are a mess live all the pretenders live videos in here sound good

[thekillers1stfan]

@spacepatrolman The Pretenders could never write songs like All Day and all of the night, Father Christmas or You Really Got Me, they did get a little too soft near the end of their career but that doesn't mean their beginnings didn't kick ass

[ORCA4312]

I actually like the Pretenders cover version a lot better.

[oldredun]

still can't decide which version I like more . . . what a great song !!!!

[lowestcommon]

[Hitamaru]

[chucklibertine]

[rw5791]

shit,I thought the pretenders was the original.

[leton53]

@rw5791 what a mistake... i like chrissie but even more ray and the kinks!

[spacepatrolman]

@leton53 They have a song on this album called cadillac which sounds like bo diddly [ bo used to say that that hambone record wasnt african rhythms like he played ] .

[Sids60sSounds]

@spacepatrolman I've uploaded that too!

[carlmoore19]

A good song but it's obscure.

[voidont1]

Ray Davies for prez!

[me12c2]

I like thinking about young Chrissie Hynde living in London in the early 70's listening to early Kinks records.

[nauort23]

@me12c2  I like thinking about young Chrissie Hynde growing up in Akron, Ohio in the 1960's listening to the Kinks, and then moving to London to bang one of them.

[me12c2]

@nauort23 Yeah, it's nice that worked out for her.

[aaaiiiyyy]

@nauort23 Goes to show that truth is stranger than fiction

[ORCA4312]

@me12c2 I like thinking about young Chrissie Hynde, also.

[me12c2]

@ORCA4312 Not what i meant, but point taken.

[bodsnvimto]

@me12c2

I see why she did. Musically The Kinks were never 'Punk' but in attitude Ray often was. He oscillated between wistful & bitter throughout much of his lyrics, the latter of which is in keeping with the, then, movement.

[RipChord68]

I've always wondered why the Pretenders had a hit with this song and the Kinks did not....

[Detroit1967]

love the vinyl sound ; )
