“Rock and roll has become respectable. What a bummer”. Ray Davies to a “t”. The Kinks had the finest lyrics of the 1960s, savage, sardonic and very sad.

As a kid growing up in the 80’s, who became infatuated with the British Invasion of the 60’s in junior high, I’ve always considered “The Big Four” to be: Beatles Stones Who Kinks As a kid, that was the order as well. As I’ve gotten on in life, that order has changed, and The Kinks are at the top of it.

No band ever has greater stories to tell than The Kinks. Why they don't make a movie about them is just unfathomable. Just think of all that golden cheddar? All those miss-adventurous stories. All those teenage foot in the hold adventures as young men touring the US after their manager quite. All the trouble they got into, leaving them banned from the US for five years? What a story?

So many bands had to wait far to long to get in to the RnR hall. And other well deserved bands still aren’t in! At least they got this one right with the Kinks. And in answer to Pete’s “what, kept, you?” (In part 1). I believe there is a mandatory 25 year wait from a bands inception (unlike sports and five years after your last season).

Dave has a solo album out and "God in My Bran" (a post-stroke song) is arguably one of the best tunes he's ever done. He also has a DVD coming out next month, and ray has an album of duets on the way... sounds like they're quite busy!

Watch pt 1. Every body got their due. Who wrote, arranged etc, etc etc. He had moments of artistic help from Dave. He did quite well on his own. No other did. He is uncomfortably modest.
