Was working next to another construction site today and they had on a "Classic Rock" station. I am always amazed that these stations have such a treasure trove of classic music to pick from and they play the same handful of songs over and over and over and over.......

They played the Kinks "Lola" and it made me think of the huge volume of Kinks music you NEVER hear anymore. If you listen to any musician rave about their musical influences, chances are you will find the Kinks on their list.

Schoolboys in Disgrace was one of my old time favorites.

always liked the Kinks.....funny how they sort of disappeared
they were original

Under rated band big time! I hear them occasionally but not nearly as much as we should......and they have so many more great songs than the 3 or 4 the radio stations choose to play!

Cool band.

thats the second album I ever owned. the first was the doors first album.
Thanks for posting this, I havent listened to these guys in years and should start

One of the very first concerts I ever went to was at the Providence civic center.Quite a few tracks were recorded for One for the Road.

Do you remember the date? I saw them there back in the early 80's. Left Mass as it started to snow, got to Providence in a downpour and by the time we made it back to Mass after the concert there was 2 feet of snow (as I remember it)

Regardless- The Kinks are my all-time favorite band- I have seen them at least 18 times including shows at the Boston Garden, The wang Center, North Shore Music Theatre and everywhere they played. Even went to see Ray Davies storyteller show in Newburyport at a local high school several years back and got to shake the mans hand. One of the best musicians and the funniest songwriters ever.

Paul, ! was at the Wang Center show...proablably the same Garden show too.....They are definitely one of my top bands as well

In 1980 I saw them in Lenox , where the poster came from ( I can't seem to attach it.) and Umass Amherst Fine Arts Center only 3-4k seats. They played the first set acoustic and the second electric....my best concert by far.....

Love the Kinks, especially "the misfits"
