I agree. I think even though they are highly rated by many people, they're not really mentioned in the same breath as The Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, or any other 'greats' of the 60s/70s.

Did you forget to link a pic??
Yep, fantastic song that one. Something Else is actually one of my less liked albums of theirs, but there's no denying the closer is one of the best ever written.

Could've sworn I posted this, yeah, I agree Something Else is a little bit uneven and inconsistent

Ooooh yes family, this is possibly my all time favourite album, certainly my most played. Shangri-La is just too good.
How do you feel about Lola v Powerman? Probably my second favourite desu. Strangers, This Time Tomorrow and A Long Way From Home are just amazing. And Lola of course...
Love them. My favorite song is probably Strangers, mainly because it makes me very nostalgic. There's so much honest emotion in that singing. A lot of beauty in their discography.
My favorite song of theirs is Lazy Old Sun.
How do I get into the Kinks? What should I listen to first?
>>65225562
Just get into the Beatles
Kinks are shit
>>65225562
First, disregard >>65225585
Secondly, I'd probably start with Village Green Preservation Society. It doesn't have any of the single you've likely heard (Lola, You Really Got Me, All Day And All Of The Night, etc) but it'll give you a good idea of their sound.

Alright, thanks. Will give Village Green Preservation Society a shot.
>>65225744
Start with Lola vs the Powermen
I love them, and I hate the Beatles, which is strange, but I think they sound much better.
my fav album is Something else by the Kinks
my fav song is Sunny Afternoon
Muswell Hillbillies. Alcohol is a personal favorite.

i like the kinks, but it seems like 90% of the mentions they get on /mu/ are from kids bragging about not liking the beatles
I'll cry the day Ray Davies kicks the bucket
>>65226108
this. /mu/'s hard-on for Beatles hate is the most immature thing ever.
>>65226108
I think you're right. I haven't listened to that much of the beatles, probably because I got into the kinks first. I certainly think the beatles are great, but they are the reason why the kinks are underrated. So maybe that's why people can't seem to like both?

Same friend. He's looking good, though.
