I really like The Kinks but "Phenomenal Cat" is a big fat sticky turd with pinworms.

Dig Me Out > Kink Kontroversy

Oh man when I read "Dig Me Out" that scene from the Bobby Brown/Whitney Houston reality show where he talked about when Whitney was constipated and he had to root around in there with a pencil popped in my head and boy did I lol.

the kinks stayed together so they had the chance to make a bunch of boring albums.

I am glad I live in a world where I don't have to decide between the Kinks, the Beatles, and the Stones.

13 albums in eight years (1963 - 1970), i'll take that.

You can try to stand any body's era against the Beatles, nothing comes close, not even CCR.

Let's see:

1963 - Please Please Me (5)
1963 - With the Beatles (5)
1964 - A Hard Day's Night (5)
1964 - Beatles for Sale (5)
1965 - Help! (5)

than they started to separate:

1966 - Rubber Soul (5)
1966 - Revolver (5)
1967 - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (5)
1967 - Magical Mystery Tour (5)
1968 - The Beatles [White Album] (5)
1969 - Yellow Submarine (3)
1969 - Abbey Road (5)
1970 - Let It Be (4.5)

*rating by all music (and a lot of others as well)

No band that recorded Maxwell's Silver Hammer should ever be considered a model of perfection.

they've got worse songs than that, but not many.

They've got hundreds of songs that are phenomenally better.

Best batting average ever.

I don't like the Beatles. I have given them every chance that I could ever give, and every couple months or so I'll put on an album of theirs to see if I can get into it, but I simply don't like them. I do like the White Album and Abbey Road, but that's it.

And don't give me some bullshit about how I'm a contrarian because my favorite band is the Stones.

Not liking the Beatles just plain doesn't make sense to me..

When anyone talks about Ray Davies, I keep thinking of Richie Havens.

what constitutes one band being quantitatively better than another?

Dig it. That's what I thought, but then i didn't want to read into it, just in case there was a memo i missed with some substantial proof of actual superiority.
