The Kinks - The Village Green Preservation Society

[krakatoa1200]

The Kinks are one of the best bands of all time, I saw them in the early 60's in our local dance hall, they were brilliant.

[NigelCopy]

Brilliant! One of my favourite bands. Love the salute when Ray sings the line about the George Cross.

I can honestly say that The Kinks have greatly enriched my time on this earth. They made my life so much better than it would have been without them :)

[milbury55]

God Save The Kinks!

[DaveG303]

You may have gotten the studio cut on this, but this live version is much better.

[Dukegrievousangel]

The genius of this song (and the album overall) is the way it blurs the line between satire and sincerity...

[Strummerville81]

Absolutely love them. To me, their goldylock's porridge. Not too cold like the Beatles or too hot like the Stones. My favorites. MUCH love to Ray Davies and Co.

[tdworak]

Hope and memory shall not perish.

[BillMinworth]

Criminally overlooked at the time (like the Byrds 68 album with Gram Parsons) but now appreciated..and about time too!

[grahampl]

My blood!

[garethella]

amazing songwriters and musicians,nothing like it nowadays,perfect pop.

[magus75]

Preciosa cancion!!!!

[toastedmonkee]

God save decent music. Certainly is a shortage of it being produced nowdays. Great band.

[phishpeaks]

What a GREAT song.

rAND OM THOU ght:

I can't say I'm a fan of Andy Samberg... but I must admit that he's had (and continues to have) his moments. And when you/I look at Ray's face... c'mon... [I mean,] are you gonna seriouly try and tell me that Samberg IS NOT a dead-ringer for Ray? I mean, wouldn't it be perfect, spot-on casting for a bio-flick? And a Kinks bio-pic would - at least on the surface - seem like a hell of a lot more interesting proposition than the upcoming Runaways movie.

[Opqosite]

brilliant

Crispen Glover looks like the singers twin brother...........

[MrJommycross]

I am Italian, and I say that Village green... is one of the mya favourite song if ever, also I can't understand completely the lyrics... it's an outstandig piece of pop music,perhaps Waterloo sunsete is better...

[sgtpepr65]

Pure Perfection.

[SporkBoy33]

Of course, this was before people knew that Ray Davies was gay.

[jamreaper]

ray aint gay m8 lol ur retarded

[farnsboro]

These blokes are brilliant. God save Ray Davies. He catches the mood and sentinment so well.

[written12]

@farnsboro

And this sounds every bit as good as the original album recording.

It's not a little different in tempo and texture-what with the horns here- but it's every bit as affecting as you say.

[coach777777]
