The Kinks

For me they just did not get the job done as well as bands like the Animals and Dave Clark 5.............. Yes there were shinning moments like Lola and my favorite Sunny Afternoon. They never got the exposure in North America amongst the likes of the Beatles, Stones and Who that over powered them. The Animals and Dave Clark 5 were on the charts much more frequently. The Kinks sounded awesome, but I honestly think their management did not do them justice..............

One of their more obscure gems, and one of my favorite songs of all time:

Voted for Village Green Preservation Society in the poll. This is my favorite song on that album (not to be confused with the well known title song). Love the harpsichord on this.

Another one of my favorite Kinks songs. Even though it's lip synched, I love their slightly mischievous performance here, and those clothes, and Pete Quaife's bass labeled, "This Is Not A Piano".
