I have been a huge Kinks fan since grade school (I'm 71) - and probably liked them more than The Beatles and Rolling Stones. Here lately I've been going back over all the albums in order, and creating a detailed survey - I'm in the process of reading several books on the Kinks and their music.
I am surprised how well the music has held up. I've always enjoyed Something Else the most (my vote) mainly because of the song "Waterloo Sunset", which I consider one of the greatest songs ever written. But Face to Face and Muswell Hillbillies were also early favorites.
With my current re-listening I have come to greater appreciation of Village Green Preservation Society, Everybody's in Showbiz also Arthur and Lola which were albums I owned but for some reason never listened to them closely.
