I'm sick of people saying music sucks today. If you only listen to mainstream radio, yeah you're going to find a great deal of crap. But if you take the time to look for good music, you'll surely find some. Franz Ferdinand and the Fratellis, to name a couple of my favorites from the last decade.
And I'm quite sure people just like all of you were complaining of how dead music was back in the 70's and 80's, too, and couldn't stand mainstream radio.
todays music sucks because people running the music biz today know nothing about music. they just a bunch of corporate execs that have never ENJOYED the music. its about money,money,money
I was fortunate enough to see the Kinks 7 times. Now we're so subjected to the american idol crap machine and all the celeb private life bullshit....there is no longer a place for great music like this except for in the enlightened record collection.
people in america don't understand Kinks videos because we didn't live in post war Britten most of the kinks videos showed sceans of post war britten but as an american in 1983 I loved this song sooooo much and still do LOVE THE KINKS.
@gonzataker Technically, the Kinks had several hits in the 80s: Destroyer, Better Things, Come Dancing, Don't Forget to Dance and Do It Again. Look it up! Popularity-wise they weren't what they were in the 60s and 70s but were still incredibly relevant. I was a little girl in the early 80s and knew who they were - from kids not much older than me - before I even heard them.
@MsLithium21 Dont forget the late 70's: Wish I could fly like Superman; Low Budget; Rock and Roll Fantasy; Sleepwalker; Father Christmas; Juke Box Music
I was paid a tenner for being an extra in this video, on my scooter sx 150 Lambretta in 1982, I,m not even in it!!!! LOL. Poxy cold wey miserable day as well!
This song came out when I was 11 and it was my introduction to the Kinks. I didn't have a mature understanding of what they were singing about but I just "felt it." Such good stuff. They just kept evolving, always true to themselves.
Why can't we have music like this these days? The radio is filled with nothing but garbage in the form of slut pop, hip-hop crap, Bieber-bullshit and Lady Gaga. Whatever happened to rock?
I don't know what happened to them in the last 15 years or so but I wish they would get back again....Like they just vanished away...WHY, What happened to them????????
the kinks are the reason i turned out half way decent,.. i always thought i was the only kid on my block to listen to them... they always had great concerts...
Thank god for keeping the Kinks through the 80's ! Loved every album they produced ! I severely wish that they could "Do It Again" ! I really miss the Kinks !
I REMEMBER WHEN MTV WORLD-PREMIERED THIS BACK IN FALL '84. HARD TO BELIEVE (AND TRAGIC) THAT MTV WAS ONCE THAT COOL. WHEN THEY STARTED W/ THE RAP, THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END. LOVED THE WORD OF MOUTH ALBUM! ANOTHER GREAT ONE "SOLD ME OUT"...HAD A FRIEND WHO MET RAY DAVIES, AND SAID THAT RAY WAS SUCH A LAID-BACK, REGULAR, DOWN-TO-EARTH GUY. HE OFFERED MY FRIEND A CIG...
@FuzzboxVoodoo94 hahahaha darn tootin' pal!!! love to dance in my room to this and also I listened to the doobie brothers livin on the fault line album again and they really stand the test of time (at least to me) same with the kinks. and since you mentioned glee; what's up with everything being a contest, competition? I have been enjoying the show the Voice, it's great !
@EmmiePwns i like the kinks and green day, an i think you should be happy about todays musicians inspiring themselves with this genius. Check out green day's* warning* and the kink's *the last of the steam powered trains*
The Kinks kept me sane in the mid 80's, and this is one of their latest, greatest* songs (with a great film clip). Of course it sank like a stone. So what? Everyone was into Culture Club or The Bangles. The other guy in the subway is original Kinks Drummer Mick Avory, who left after this album, but Ray insisted on having him in the video (1984).
* latest, greatest song may have been 'Scattered' from 1993, but check out Ray's 'Workingmans Cafe' (2007)
Dave Davies essentially invented the rock power chord-You really got me and All day and all of the Night in 64 before townsend, hendrix, richards, page
Never in my life have I ever found more comfort or sense of Joy in a band. The fact that these guys never got the credit they deserved is just another reasson they are so special. The real underdogs of Rock. God Save The Kinks
@Mr22475Puk - They get credit in the U.K. just not the U.S. as they were banned from performing there and so they decided to just focus on the U.K.
They always describe Davies as the "MOD father" i.e. the inspiration of that movement which included bands like The Jam and Oasis etc. Although the Who might have something to say about that as they never get credit but they do shift records so all's fair I guess. Both formed in London in 64
@brianbuck70 I was paid a miserable tenner to be an extra in this video, main reason was because I had a lambretta sx150 with all the mod cons on it!(excuse the pun) I,m not even in shot LOL
Guys theres only so many sounds you can get with power chords that actually sound good. Both Green Days Walking contradiction and Do it again are great songs but the kinks did have an 11 year advantage. Power chords were first used 60 years ago so by now everything has been done with them, so now you either make up your own chords (like jimi hendrix ) or use other bands to "inspire" you. Green Day was simply "inspired." Now can we end the conversation about Green Day and get back to The Kinks?
@Ace2206 the Kinks really were one of the first to use the power chord with distortion to good effect ( by shredding the amps with razor blades I have read ! ) They were trying to get that heavy distorted tone very early on . And btw Green Day and the Kinks should never be mentioned in the same breath as far as I am concerned !
well im a kid and i fukin love the kinks and beatles and cure and the animals and every1 i show this music to loves it so @flippy flyer u can fuk of :)x

You know, I'm kinda burned out on people subjecting others to their own very subjective opinions in youtube comments, and I don't want to look hypocritical, but really I'm just stating fact when I say that when Green Day goes to sleep at night, they dream that they someday might possibly be 1% as cool as the Kinks.
P.S. Ray I'm sorry you got shot in here in N.O. please don't hold it against all of us, if I run into you, you got a drink on me
Ray Davies ran right up next to me at The Valley Forge Convention Center when I saw them and just stood there singing (not to me of course) it was pretty cool.
@21stCenturyIdiotz plus they didint even 'steal' the riffs they would of had to pay something to 'use' the riffs, i love the kinks and i love green day , both bands are great :)
The Kinks just keep amazing me...It was several weeks ago when "Destroyer" was on the radio and it made it have to revisit them. They had true range...their music is instantly recognizable as the Kinks; yet Apeman, Come Dancing, Lola, they are unique. They might be the most under rated band.
Kickin' guitar licks, one of my all time faves, this track. the Brothers Kink could always cut the mustard and threw some mean punches, not just the musical variety. Fist fights onstage were of legendary status.
" We're not the greatest when when we're separated but when we're together I think we're going to make it"...Ray Davies.
God save the KinKs, they are what rock & Roll is and was always meant to be all about " The Kinks, always were and always will be the greatest, most important and relevant rock & roll band of all time!
@Desiree50 Maybe a bit late answer but Ray still does solo tours, and some other band members are in a sort of tribute band called 'Kast Off Kinks', Dave was sitting at home for a long time as a result of a heart attack i thought it was. Hope I informed you well enough! Lennart
ps sorry for the mistakes I might make, I'm a 14 year old Dutch boy ;p
@sean97williams Ah, such the typical Green Day fan, you are then, eh? I'm so pleased I got such a reaction from you. Btw, it's "you're" as in "You are shit", not the possessive "your", as in "Your shoes need cleaning, lad, so go to it ".
@crapple009 haha, the funny thing is that your probaly a 40 year old virgin living with his mom, and yes you are a typical kinks fan, a dickhead that thinks they know everything and saying ALL music after the kinks era is shit :)))
and btw, green day may have stolen the riff, but they made more money from that song than you will ever make in a lifetime, and they're still probaly making thousands of dollars now :))))))) so FOD! if you know what that means.
@sean97williams Yes, shit sells, as the saying goes. I'm sure they're earning millions and millions of dollars from their empty, cliched rhetoric. The love of money is the root of evil and btw, shouldn't you be cleaning your room, doing homework or busy being duped by those "punks", Green Day?
Oh yeah- stop trying to be shocking with your "profanity". Puh-lease, give it a break, twerp.
if you hate the kinks so much the fuck off - oh yea your so cool clicking on a song you dont like - and then telling everyone it is shit - newsflash retard - we all have OUR OWN OPINIONS - so if you dont like it THEN DONT LISTEN TO IT - idiot
oh and btw it isnt that all music after the kinks is bad - its just that you wouldnt know good music if it deafened you
In the late 60's Mick told an american producer to shove his contract up his ass!! It wasn't until 4 years later in 72 that the kinks played on American soil thanks to Bill Grahm. Ray told this story at an intimate concert I was at last night in Scranton Pa. Imagine that, 42 years later... It was a blast

Kickin' guitar licks, one of my all time faves, this track. the Brothers Kink could always cut the mustard and threw some mean punches, not just the musical variety. Fist fights onstage were of legendary status.

The great Ray and Dave Davis from the The Kinks 1980s revival. Nice message, too.

" We're not the greatest when when we're separated but when we're together I think we're going to make it"...Ray Davies.
God save the KinKs, they are what rock & Roll is and was always meant to be all about " The Kinks, always were and always will be the greatest, most important and relevant rock & roll band of all time!

I like Ray in music videos. He always plays great characters. Funny spotting his brother Dave as the conductor

what ever became of the kinks.last time i saw them inconcert was in the 80sare they still together or have solo careers?
Desiree50 1 year ago
@Desiree50 Maybe a bit late answer but Ray still does solo tours, and some other band members are in a sort of tribute band called 'Kast Off Kinks', Dave was sitting at home for a long time as a result of a heart attack i thought it was. Hope I informed you well enough! Lennart
ps sorry for the mistakes I might make, I'm a 14 year old Dutch boy ;p

@sean97williams Ah, such the typical Green Day fan, you are then, eh? I'm so pleased I got such a reaction from you. Btw, it's "you're" as in "You are shit", not the possessive "your", as in "Your shoes need cleaning, lad, so go to it ".
What a typical Kinks fan I am, I am. ;-)
crapple009 1 year ago
@crapple009 haha, the funny thing is that your probaly a 40 year old virgin living with his mom, and yes you are a typical kinks fan, a dickhead that thinks they know everything and saying ALL music after the kinks era is shit :)))
and btw, green day may have stolen the riff, but they made more money from that song than you will ever make in a lifetime, and they're still probaly making thousands of dollars now :))))))) so FOD! if you know what that means.
sean97williams 1 year ago
@sean97williams Yes, shit sells, as the saying goes. I'm sure they're earning millions and millions of dollars from their empty, cliched rhetoric. The love of money is the root of evil and btw, shouldn't you be cleaning your room, doing homework or busy being duped by those "punks", Green Day?
Oh yeah- stop trying to be shocking with your "profanity". Puh-lease, give it a break, twerp.

In the late 60's Mick told an american producer to shove his contract up his ass!! It wasn't until 4 years later in 72 that the kinks played on American soil thanks to Bill Grahm. Ray told this story at an intimate concert I was at last night in Scranton Pa. Imagine that, 42 years later... It was a blast

Just awesome. Great concept song - rockin' percussion, harmonies, blistering lead guitar - rock at its best.
