The Official Kinks Thread (metal, favorite band, beatles, George Harrison, bling)

Sneer · 06-03-2005, 06:12 AM

havent seen a thread devoted to the kinks yet so shnizzle on this. did the whole britpop- sibling rivalry thing 40 years before oasis and with one riff layed the foundations for what was to become heavy metal. great band, second favourite of the 60s. your views?

Kinda Kinks
The Kinks
All Day And All of the Night

The songs LedZepStu listed are my choices as well.
What's your 1st favorite band of the 60's Zep?
Beatles?

EDIT: I'm a friggin' retard!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is probably the most stupid question I could ever ask lol!!!
OMG and I'm going to leave that question for others to view just so they can witness my stupidity today.

LOL!!
This almost makes my hour!

Idk I thought you would classify Led Zeppelin as more of a 70's band since they only had a few years in the 60's.
If you told me your favorite band of the 60's wasn't Led Zeppelin I wouldn't feel as stupid lol.

Also- days/autumn almanac/plastic man/victoria/david watts.

The Kinks are probably the most British of British bands and Ray Davies has to be one of the most original songwriters ever!

something like 11 UK top 20 hits in a space of only 3 years...awesome.

yep the beatles. and considering zeppelin started in '68 id go with you in classing them as a 70s band.

My father told me that he saw them once in a small club in our hometown. Long, long time ago... It was like "Oh, there's a band playing tonight. Hmmm, we got nothing else to do, so we'll see their show...". I guess admission was free or at least VERY low. So when they went to the bar that night, they found out it were the Kinks. Amazing. I envy him for growing up with this music. I mean I grew up with this music as well, just because of my parents, but I never got the chance to see the Beatles LIVE or to buy a brandnew The WHO LP...
I would have been a George Harrison Groupie, I'm sure...
