The Kinks were brilliant & hugely underrated!!
@mutantryeff
I always wanted to know the back story about a concert at the COW Palace. Golden Earring didn't show up as the opening band, Bill Graham backfilled with the B-52s opening and not even getting 1/2 a song completed before being booed off the stage, and the Runaways stole the entire show. I don't even remember the main act anymore.

Despite this, they still had a massive influence on future bands.

1970 - Lola was released. They came back with a great song. And with all the debate on that subject (gender) going on these days, its nice to hear some humor abt it

Always been one of my favourite bands of the 1960s. Listened to their albums between Kink Kontroversy and Muswell Hillbillies when I was at high school and their material blew my mind. Got a lot of friends to have a listen to.

I saw them as one of my first concerts. It was in Johnson Gym (Moon Martin opened - he co wrote “Doctor, Doctor” with Robert Palmer I think). The Kinks were fantastic. The encore was “You Really Got Me”. It blew the place apart.
@Superjet113
I saw the Kinks in 1985 in Omaha, Nebraska and Dave Davies did a power slide across the stage in front of me as I was close to the front row, it was pure epic rock n roll!

The Kinks were underrated and deserved much better and more recognition. I thought that they were great and I bought their early albums.
@Piggy-Oink-Oink
It';s a real shame they never were invited to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show. They would have been so great . I heard they were invited but their behavior had them canceled before they could ever get on Sullivan.

Big fan of The Kinks.I grew up in a small town connected with another small town.All the partiers would listen and go to concerts together.First saw Kinks at a smaller venue in Reading,Pa.March '77, Sleepwalker Tour.I saw them 7 or 8 times in concert.Always excellent shows.Lots of good times.
@capriwise7507
The Kinks are greater than the Stones For sure, they can Even compete in sound and lyrics, The Kinks are probably the most underated band of all times. But their influence it's inmense...

I was at the Boston Tea party show That October. What a show it was.
@gavcat2382
I'd like to hear a whole gig of You really got me!
@godfreecharlie
In 1982 I bought tickets to see the Kinks in Portland Oregon. A couple days before the concert it was cancelled. No explanation given. I was so pissed off I didn't go get my refund. I wanted to see them so bad. I didn't get to see many British bands but I did manage to get a backstage pass with the Who. I always liked the Kinks from my first time hearing that driving rhythm and great lyrics. Thanks for the memories!
@SpeedOfThought1111
Their 1964 hit You Really Got Me has got to be one of the earliest gritty (almost punk) rock songs to have been on the radio right? I can't think of anything else that was that early. Must've been very influential.
@JustJulyo
They really should be recognized as one of the greats alongside the Stones at least
@illmatic9096
The Kinks are one the most underrated bands from their era, they are never really mentioned in the greatest bands of all time list, in my opinion they were just as good as the beatles and the stones.
@RUBBERTANK_3
I was raised in muswell hill london, something about that place breeds creative.
@DJ-wx2gz
Arguably the first punk band...
