Box Set of Kinks when Kinks were good (mono!)
 

WANT!!!

Does anybody else like the Kinks? :)

People who try to be cool by saying The Kinks were better than the Beatles are usually pretentious arseholes. But the Kinks were definitely brilliant too

that's awesome, I have two of those discs and often look for the others. how much?

Not better than the Beatles by a long shot. Or the Stones. But still really good, for a while there.

Hey don't bother with any greatest hits compilations. They're good, but they miss a lot. The Kinks' were at their best on the album cuts during the late '60s'. Just download these albums:

The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society
Arthur
Lola vs powerman and the moneygoround.

^^^

good advice there...that live record was when the kinks morphed into a popular american arena band.

def. get Something Else, Face to Face and Village Green too.

That's a good Kinks song

And the Cover Version by the Chocolate Watch Band is even better

^That's one of my all time favorite garage rock songs

see "4 tunna brix"

Powerman!

+ Waterloo Sunset
This Is Where I Belong
Starstruck
Mindless Child of Motherhood
blahblahblah

We could be here all day!

I love the Kinks. It may be that I've just worn myself thin on the Beatles, but I think the Kinks are the best of the British Invasion bands.

You know I haven't listened to all their 1970s work, but they weren't utter shit in the 70s. I love Muswell Hillbillies & Preservation Act I. Two awesome albums that are overlooked by a lot of Kinks fans.

Nobody's mentioned "Victoria"?!?!

That's the best Kinks tune ever!

Maybe they're better than the Stones I don't know. But remember the Beatles were pretty snarky at times. Example: "Piggies". John was a pissed off dude.

Wasn't that George?

& I really want this box badly. The early just straight up rnr stuff kicks so much ass in mono. Real powerful.

You're right. Sorry. John contributed a line or two, forget which.

Man that's one of my favorite albums ever! How could I have missed that. :(

I love the Kinks. Especially "Do you remember Walter?"

Oh yeah. That's a great tune!

I think Village Green is like the blue print for many of the "kooky" indie-rock artists of the last two decades. Spoon, for instance. I can imagine Spoon putting out... well... just about ANY Kinks song and seeing it become a college-radio "hit".

Many bands have stolen from the Kinks, few have acknowledged them. :(

No. It's Victoria. hands down. no contest. :)

My favorite Kinks songs:

Fancy
I'm Not Like Everybody Else
Dead End Street
Sunny Afternoon
Funny Face
Death of a Clown
Wicked Annabella
Village Green Preservation Society
Mr. Shoemaker's Daughter
Some Mother's Son
Get Back in Line
Uncle Son
Muswell Hillbilly
There's a Change of the Weather
Where Are They Now?
