"They" want you to Listen to Foo Fighters, Green Day, and Ga ga,......but I listen to KINKS !!!!!

[nowhesapoof]

I think 'Sleepwalker's really ace. Their last blast, along with 'Muswell Hillbillies'.

@led73better buy the whole albums! Anything before and up to Lola Vs Powerman is definitely worth buying!!! After that, not so much.

@deaconbluesful Of course Brian put a lot of hard work into Pet Sounds but the things about his compositions that people find original and inventive seem to just come to Brian easily.Also I have every Stones track and the fact is the Stones fell back on substandard songs to pad out their LPs etc because their stockpile of 'grade A' material was a lot smaller than the people I originally listed.Finally my opinion is ''irrevelant'' is it?I could say much the same about your opinion.But I won't.

What I really like about the Kinks (except of course the tremendous music) is how contemporary their lyrics are...you get the feeling that songs like "Skin and Bone", "A Gallon of Gas", "Low Budget", "Plastic Man" and of course "Brainwashed" were written in 2011...

I wouldn't call anything The Beatles, Dylan, or Brian Wilson did "effortless". In fact, making Pet Sounds pretty much destroyed Brian Wilson for years.... he's still a casualty, in my opinion. I think the Stones unfairly don't get the same accolades as the others for their songwriting.... they wrote alot of great songs. Especially, the songs during the Brian Jones period.

@PeasGraveny So you think Pet Sounds was "effortless" to create for Brian Wilson ? If you re just interested by Stones singles, your opinion about them is irrevelant. Like knowing the Kinks just for Sunny afternoon, You really got me and Lola.

anyway... I love the Kinks, love this album, love this song !

Do I buy Kinks Kronikles or just get the whole albums? This stuff is brilliant
