They were my first concert in 1981. John Cougar opened at the Cape Cod Coliseum. I think fav album is One From The Road because of that

Low Budget. One of my childhood favs

The Fifth Dentist4

Sitting In The Mid-Day Sun. Perfect summer song.

My favorite Kinks album is probably Arthur, though there are five or six candidates for that honor. Song? Way way too many to pick one. But I Need You, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Animal Farm, Strangers (Dave), Here Come The People In Grey, The Hard Way, Juke Box Music, Scattered...

Tired of Waiting for You

JFG23

My husband is adamant that the Kinks was the superior band compared to Beatles and Stones. He actually gets mad about it on ray Davies behalf

Jon Phillips8

It's wild to me that "The Kinks > The Beatles" is as hot a take as it is

Nick8

I was a big Doors head in junior high, and I remember feeling a bit deflated when I learned that one of the Doors two #1 records was basically an inferior version of "All Day and All of the Night"

Dana Houle7

Can’t remember which one, I think Schlesinger, but one of the Fountains of Wayne guys said he kept trying to write Ray Davies songs & then realized he couldn’t & decided write in his own voice

Zach Rabiroff3

Look at the two of us both Kinksposting today
