Muswell
Lola vs. Powerman and the Money Go-round

the rest is overhyped and pretty much boring imo


It kind of makes sense that you'd love the two most American sounding records and reject all the ones that sound really British (in theme and in style)


I was thinking that someone would pick up on this, especially since Muswell is pretty rock n roll.

I have tried and tried but a lot of the stuff on Village Green and Arthur are just too fey for me...


Listen to "Face To Face" and "Kink Kontroversy", then get back to us.

Loogar, you might like Face to Face ok, actually, but I can't see you liking Something Else, Village Green or Arthur. Face to Face is just some good mid-60s rock and roll.

There's a song that eerily resembles 19th Nervous Breakdown (Holiday in Waikiki) on there too. Not sure who stole from who. FtF was released in 66.

Huh, somehow I never realized those two songs were that similar.

And on the subject of Kinks songs that sound like other songs, I was sure there was a Kinks song that starts off just like The Who's "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere", but now I can't figure out which one it is. Did I imagine this?

Oh, this discounts my love for early Kinks. Yeah, I get all of that....I sorta meant of their proper albums (isn't Kontroversy a singles/comp?)

Nope. Maybe you're thinking of Kinks-size?

Not sure off the top of my head, but I think Townshend has admitted writing "I Can't Explain" to sound like a Kinks song to get Kinks' producer Shel Talmy to work with them.

And the opening guitar riff on Townshend's "Keep on Working" (from Empty Glass) is the opening of "Set Me Free" inside out.

He's thinking of Kinks Kronicles.

I heard an NPR interview with Davies last week... talking about the depth of feelings that Waterloo Sunset always produces for people. It is the greatest pop song ever recorded. When that plinky guitar starts the last chorus... I am in paradise.

I still say Give the People What They Want is massively underappreciated.


Great songs, tragic production, especially on the big 80's drums.


The title track came up on shuflle the other day, and man, are you ever right about the drums!

np: Sufjan Stevens - "The Seer's Tower"

You can take the word "pop" out if you like and the sentence still works.

These 3 posts just made me go play "Waterloo Sunset" to see if I could hear what I missed. Nope. It's a cute little ditty allright, with a nice guitar line, but greatest (pop) song ever recorded? Komplete krap.

Harry's right, its Kronikles I was thinking of...and maybe this band is like The Stooges and Love for me, I don't exactly think its utter garbage, I just can't hear the "GREATEST EVER" in it..kinda like some morons feel about TEH STONES! ;)

But "meh" doesn't start with the letter K.

(btw - I don't mean to suggest the song itself is komplete krap, just the notion that it's the greatest song ever rekorded)
