    Ahh...The Kinks.
    The most underated band of all time.
    A key cog in the British Invasion.
    Get their first album..The Kinks, released 1964
    You probably have some tunes on that greatest hits.
    Next for something a little later,
    Schoolboys In Disgrace, '75
    Low Budget, '79

    Apeman is quite possibly the best song ever written. The Kinks are so good.

    Totally agree! I grew up with them and am still amazed at the songs they did that I loved and didn't realize were them. Don't know why they didn't get more recognition. :)

    bit of trivia: The cover of the kinks album "kontroversy" is emulated by sleater kinney for their "dig me out" album.
    Like a cloud dropping rain, I'm discarding allllll thought.
