The Kinks Got to Be Free

[QueenetBowie]

Ray Davies come's across as quite the libertarian in his lyrics

[lyonslaforet]

Ray Davies displays once again his huge talent on a quite short song!

[chipzigrossi]

GOD SAVE THE KINKS! ray davies nov 13 bufffalo ny hope to see you there

[cindy91365]

I have loved the dead and the kinks my whole life, this song does remind me of some great grateful dead songs. I dont understand why other people like to put their fellow mankind down for their thoughts and opinions. Because I am listening to this right now , my closed-minded husband realizes we have nothing in common. I am so sorry for his loss. He will not get beyond a few bands he loved fro the 90's and cannot go forward.. Be nice to each other people.

[MsLithium21]

@cindy91365 Amen to that! Be nice to other people and everything else becomes a lot simpler.  Sorry your husband can't get out of his rut. His loss is right!!

came here because of the Prius Commercial.

[chacoelephant]

tremendous melody. thank you for uploading

[DennysinSD]

Great tune. Wish it was 10 minutes long.

[itsabigfoot]

So nice to hear The Kinks on those Prius commercials.

[drumbeato]

You people are high on patchouli. This song sounds nothing like Saint Stephen by The Grateful Dead. They aren't even in the same chord structure. 

[amesburyroad]

Wow, heard this song on the Toyota Prius commercial and was thinking it was American bluegrass and here it was released 41 years ago by the Kinks. Incredible.

[1rickmayer]

@amesburyroad I was think the same thing. At first I was thinking Son Volt or Avett Brothers...I am humbled once again at the awesome influence the kinks have on modern music.

[GreenhouseEffectGE]

So many people rip off the Kinks - ,...its about time,..they got even !!

[MrJas1991]

One of my favorite albums ever

[jeepndesert]

agent smith couldn't stop the kinks

[jackalopebaird]

sounds a lot like st stephen by the grateful dead... for some reason....

[wweecwcollin]

@jackalopebaird hell yeah it does

[purplestuff]

@jackalopebaird prolly cause the dead ripped off the kinks.

[AWESOM094]

@purplestuff too bad aoxomoxoa was released a year before this album was even recorded....

[jackalopebaird]

@AWESOM094

uhm, excuse me purplestuff, that was a BURN!!!

[jackalopebaird]

@purplestuff actually, st stephen by the grateful dead was recorded two years before this song was even released, then released in 1969, a year before this song, in 1970.

I dont think it was a matter of ripping people off, their were in completely different parts of the world.

just noticing a similarity between two groups of very fine musicians. this is really late, seeing as you posted eight months ago.

[jamreaper]

@qrlosyahoocom lol ur also forgetting in an interveiw ray davies also said

"oh yea i did hit that one guy"

.... he also said that the guy might have been some important someone or other

so ... yea :)

[consityis]

why where they banned

[requiredattention]

Such an enjoyable album :]

Thanks for posting for those who never got to experience the time and the place to pick up the music... Its really appreciated when a person my age can finaly find this music, such good taste.

[MrSuedehead72]

le meilleur morceau de l' album "versus powerman..." tout simplement génial!!!!!!

[czimmerman1]

Someday the music industry and critics will recognize the importance of Ray Davies and the Kinks. I just gotta be free to do what I want...

[JJDarklink]

@czimmerman1 hell yeah dude

I'm 18, been a libertarian for a while. this is our battle cry!

[gnosticfellow]

@czimmerman1

Couldn't have been said more aptly ...

[changer434]
