 Ray Davies (The Kinks) - Shangri La Live performance  Mr Churchill Says  Failed To Load Title |
Let's do a seasonal song
 The Kinks - Father Christmas 1977 |
|
Quoted:
One of my favorite bands. I saw them in concert in 1986 or 1987. Absolutely one of the best concerts I've seen. They had 20+ years of hits to perform, and they knew how to work an audience. They made a solid connection with the crowd, and didn't need fireworks or other distractions in their performance. ETA: Looks like it was in 1987 set list |
The sequel to Lola;

Cool song,one of my favorite kinks tunes.
 The Kinks - Low Budget |
|
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man,
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man, And so is Lola. Oh demon alcohol,
Sad memories I cannot recall, Who thought I would say, Damn it all and blow it all, Oh demon alcohol, Memories I cannot recall, Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol. 'Cause there's a red, under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head And there's a true, blue, inside of me That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya Paranoia, need destroyer. Paranoia, they destroy ya' |
 The Kinks - Better Things (w lyrics) |

I love the Kinks and have many of their albums.

"One For The Road." Greatest live album ever!! I have nearly worn out my copy of One for the Road. It is a great live album.  Celluloid Heroes (Live at Volkshaus, Zürich, Switzerland - November 1979) |
 The Kinks - Apeman 1970 |
Here's a giant 1979 Fuck You to the rest of the world courtesy of Ray Davies.
 Failed To Load Title For those of us who lived through the second worst president ever, it was a refreshing surprise to hear an English band telling the world that they were assholes for turning their backs on us. |
One of the best bands ever. This is one of the best songs ever.
 The Kinks - 20th Century Man |
still rock their 8track on a rare occasion
 Give The People What They Want (extra verse) - The Kinks |

Came here to post this. But there are many other great tunes here as well. Cheers! -JC |
 Kinks - I'm Not Like Everybody Else |

Had it not been for their permit ban from '65 - '69 here in the states, they would have been bigger than the Stones and possibly the Beatles.
Either of those bands don't hold a candle to the Kinks  Got To Be Free - The Kinks - Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One  The Kinks - Victoria  The Kinks - Maximum Consumption - Everybody's In Show-Biz  Failed To Load Title |

Do you have Radio Man (I think that is what the song is called)? ??? Do you mean Around The Dial?  Around the Dial |

Give em credit. They were the first to suggest in 1970, that falling in love with a trannie he/she, and ending up on your knee's blowing it, was like....o'tay. o'tay
I guess that took balls...of a sort. But they made a lot of great music and maybe didnt get the credit they deserved cause they were often in the shadow of the Beatles. I had a chance to see them in the late '70s and always regretted not going. |

That's it! Thanks! I have only heard that song once on the radio. the old KLOL (iirc) in Houston, early 80s. They were rockin'. |

Around The Dial was the first cut; Better Things was the last. Destroyer was the first song on the second side, followed by a bit of middle aged angst.  The Kinks - Yo-Yo The title track was the same idea as Dirty Laundry, a year earlier. |
