KINKS GREATEST HITS (1971)

[@DennisDeissler]

First time I asked a girl to go to a concert with me [spring of '74]. Back then she only knew "Lola". she enjoyed a fantastic concert, singing and dancing. She ended up knowing more songs. I knew then that I had to marry that girl when I finished college. We're married 46 years now.

Ray Davies always impressed me as a singer and songwriter. I waited on his table at the restaurant I worked at in 1980 in Seattle WA. I was thrilled to have met him.

[@defnet0]

Very cool

[@andyeaston8391]

He was always polite and sincere. They don't make them like that anymore plus he had talent oozing out oif every pore. Good health Sir Ray!

[@stacyhannigan]

Maybe I'm wrong, but Ray was super talented! I never did think he got the recognition he deserved. He WAS famous back in the day of course and the Kinks reached immense popularity for a time, but after awhile, I feel like society didn't appreciate him enough after awhile when that appreciation and admiration should have continued. Just my opinion...

[@pheydenburg]

I've noticed that as the music plays I remember every note and every word from my teenage years. A.m. radio back in the day used to overplay things. I didn't mind when these were overplayed.

[@pc7135]

Effortlessly melodic rock music. Ray is one of Britain's finest pop music writers.

[@johnhenni7558]

All Day and All Of the Night was their debut single in the U.S. It had an astonishing hard rocking sound, that riff is unforgettable.

[@chelmsfordroad50]

It wasn't their debut single - You Really Got Me was.

[@arsalanziazie9812]

Whatever it was, this is what I’d say: Thank you for the day!

[@teveve31]

Which was just as hard rocking!

[@sirdouglas2010]

The whole package!! Ahead of their time and getting better with the years.

[@sdushdiu]

Far ahead of their time - hell, they literally defined much of what was going to come in rock!

[@scottherf]

They invented hard rock metal.

[@sdushdiu]

As well as several of the classic rhythmic chord progressions....

[@rickmanning5574]

Ya and they were sort of pre punk,Ray Davies was a radical dude.

[@DianaSheward]

A subtle, sneaky,radical dude in his own quiet British way! I love him and the Kinks !👍🏼🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the days Ray and the Kinks in general ! Wonderful memories ,music and merriment ! 👍🏼🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

[@hudois]

I had this LP in 1966 when it was entitled "Well Respected Kinks" The princely sum of 14/11 was what I paid for it at the time, new. I saved up my paper round money for it. Worth every last penny, it was one of my first LPs!

[@jongilchrist7229]

Here's a band that has held up into this century.

[@bertilkarlborg8030]

One of the greatest Band !!!!!

[@revkenordquist]

I've always thought the Kinks were by far the British Invasion band that held up best over time as far as never sounding dated. When "You Really Got Me" hit the airwaves I was 7 years old and immediately grabbed my Grampa's rusty stringed warped box guitar from the basement and learned the bass/vocal lines as well as possible and have played guitar ever since. I'll be 60 in a few weeks. I once heard them called "The Beatles for grown-ups" and seriously can't argue THAT one! GOD SAVE THE KINKS!!!

[@stacyhannigan]

Great observation and comment. Their music doesn't sound dated. I don't disagree with you there...BUT..their sound DOES have a strong "1960's" flavor to it. Yet, their music is somehow TIMELESS. It's hard to describe. It's like...their music fits PERFECTLY in this neat little box situated halfway between having a very CLEAR CUT sound from a certain time period, ("60's pop rock", for lack of a better term), YET, their music still prevails today. It's timeless and never grows old. their music is still relevant, like the Bealtes, the Stones Arlo Guthrie, Jim Croce, Led Zeppelin, all that music. Know what I mean ? Another way to put it is their 60s sound is a "Time stamp" of sorts, as far as describing their music style, yet again, their music is timeless at the same time...

[@robharding5345]

Without doubt one of the better bands of the 60's.

[@johnross2924]

The Kinks are on a par with The Beatles in my opinion. Phenomenal talents with their own unique sound. This sort of music is long past and has been replaced by mostly tuneless repetitious stuff. A real shame.
