The Kinks - I Gotta Move

[MRMITCHELLZ]

i can't help thinkin the song "i gotta groove" from zeppelin..is 100% influenced if not totally ripped off from this!!,.,,,than again im pretty high

[eleni1968]

I recall an interview [?] some yrs. ago the KINKS gave on PBS [?] they actually wanted to be an American R & B rock band like the Stones but Ray [Davies] bemoaned the fact he didn't have the "right" voice for the part like Mick did. The band evolved into their own sound, but the roots are American. As another poster stated: Brit bands wanted 2 sound American or Canadian. They definitely had an edgier sound that the Beatles didn't have until much later. Im sure the Beatles listened 2 the Kinks

What year is this from? I like it

[glaetze]

The full impact of the Kinks is still yet to be recognized. They were in a sense, a combination of deep satirical political statements, (almost Dylan-like), and at the same time, great R and R musicians, with the greats, such as The Who, Stones, Yardbirds, etc. Great talent from the U.K., as always. We dug you guys in the States.

Peace and love.

The Kinks are the Modfathers behind The Who!

Very cool -Modfathers.

[historiadorderock]

The Kinks are the Fathers of Loud Rock!! Absolutely love the Kinks drumm sound. Louder than the Beatles thank you very much! You get a variety of beats so creativ e and aggresive at the same time! Oh and what about those early distortions!!!! Actually The Kinks influenced The Yardbirds instead! Que Viva Los Kinks!!!

[anothercrazyguru66]

in this song i think the kinks sound is very similar to the yardbirds sond (listen the bass on 00:40 to 00:48

[withnielandi]

A GREAT British band!

[johnnybsteelriff]

The Beatles kicked the door down, The Kinks walked through and became the greatest of 'em all....know what you mean about them meaning a lot to you....same here....

[whizbang47]

Sometimes I used to feel like these guys were right in my mind, never mind reading it. This was like direct relativity/relevance, not just some hip thoughts filtered through a bunch of showbiz. My favorite (favourite) UK

band, even above all those other glorious groups.

[helltopay1]

Whiz you are so right,cant explain it ,these guys got me through my schooldays, they took me in my head places no other group/person whatever could.The kinks mean a lot to me.

[northerngirl72]

Good old Kinks!!

Thanks Lee!

[paddyo702]

[DeeckyCobennon]

[TorpedoSam88]

The first 80 milliseconds do

[chunk1969]

the order of great song writers from the english invasion...john/paul.. keith/mick pete townshed..ray davies...then lastly bowie.. ray's songwriting is pure gold for those day's AND well into the 70's which can't really be said for the others cept pete for a few.

[macvoutie]

Before the Who hit it big the Kinks had the rawest sound around. Check out their "Melbuorne Hillbillies" album from the 70's. it's as good as anything out now.

[macvoutie]

Let me correct myself. It's "Muswell Hillbillies". Check it out it's a great album.

[helltopay1]

Not trying to "top " you mate ,that album was "muswell hillbillies"taken from the area of london they come from ,muswell Hill. good luck friend

[macvoutie]

True friend and as you can see I made that correction 9 months ago but no matter the bottom line is the kinks are great.

[chrisradano]
