I have quite recently listened very lot Face To Face, Something Else, Village Green, Athur & Lola and of course theyīre great, but still I donīt believe Kinks will ever become one of the most important bands to me. Maybe just because I havenīt listened it all of my life like many others. One thing I donīt understand how people who like Arthur donīt like Tommy? I find them lot in common like also Pretty Things S.F. Sorrow.

Arthur and Tommy are only alike in the sense that they're concept albums. Aside from that, I don't think the two records share much. They have a totally different sound, feel, story... Just my opinion.
