The Kinks are the Modfathers behind The Who!

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!!!

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

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.

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