Hi, we are a band that are heavily influenced by the kinks! If you could please spare 2 seconds to listen to a band that are still trying to play real music then check us out at our channel.
I just accidentally pressed "Plastic Man" bu Seether. Holy cripes what a diference. The Kinks draw you in to a cool joke with some hot music. That Seether thing was like a well of self-pity repleat with gravelly five o'clock shadow like so much of so-called "alternative". Got save the Kinks and take me back to those balck hills that I have never seen.
One of those songs that don't seem like much of a deal when they first come out, but which steadily grow in stature as time rolls on. (For another in that category, check out Useless Information by the Move - scarily prescient about the Internet and the amount of time people of today spend on cellphones.)
The last Kinks single to feature the late Pete Quaife .... only just heard that he passed on last month. Still in shock.
I wonder how the hell they wrote these songs that are painfully relevant today without the benefit of hindsight. Davies and his brother really had heads on their shoulders.
Just listen to the guitar sounds in this song. Who uses guitars that sound like that today? Nobody. Kudos to Mick for the cowbell. I'll bet they had a blast doin this shit in the studio.
Damn, im just starting to really go threw the arsenal of songs these guys have, and im having a BLAST! Every song i hear is great and ahead of there time, a truely creative band indeed.
This song was the first one that made me realise Ray´s talent as a songwriter. To me he is the best songwriter in the world along with Ronnie Lane, Townshend and Robert Hunt (Greatful Dead).

Incredibly, the over-zealous BBC banned this record when it was released in 1969.
The reason? Ray Davies is singing about a "plastic bum" at 0:48. Auntie was not amused.

The Kinks were decades ahead of their time.
