It puts the lie to your statement that they were a "garage band". Songs like Some Mother's Son, Australia and She's Bought A Hat Like Princess Marina are as brilliant lyrical attacks on war, emmigration dreams and worship of the Royals as have ever been written. These songs would be booed off the stage by the audience that I assume you think frequent skating rinks and proms. But for the rebellious youth of the late 60s and early 70s (who could listen to the lyrics of Lola in 1970 and not feel part of a subversive experience?), Ray Davies spoke to us loud and clear. For those of us who lived through the Kinks' era, they are neither overrated or underrated. We know exactly where they stand. Thanks for that smackdown RParadise! Some folks are clueless. This reminds me of a great vignette from Ray Davies autobiography: Once while opening for the Beatles he met John Lennon before going on stage. Lennon told him that "with the Beatles no one gets a turn, you're just here to keep the crowd occupied until we go on" and finished with, "well lads, if you get stuck and run out of songs to play, we'll lend you some of ours." As the Beatles fans were screaming for their favorite band, Ray decided to change up the playlist and shouted out for the others to play You Really Got Me. "Dave turned up his amplifier, which caused it to feedback slightly. The high pitched frequency cut through the screams of the Beatles fans. For a moment the audience was silent. As soon as Dave played the opening chords they were with us. It was as if we had taken round one off the Beatles. As John Lennon and Brian Epstein watched from the wings, I felt like shouting in my best Liverpudlian accent, 'This is not one of yours. It's one of OURS!' " [ Reply ]
