One of their most beloved tunes is, " Waterloo Sunset ".
Always been a favourite of mine
I forgot that one somehow!
Check out First Aid Kits cover
@@TheSchuyler75 Very cool!
The title Waterloo Sunset didn't ring a bell, so I went and listened to it. Never heard it before. Not one of their better known songs. At least not in the U. S.
Been hearing this song for fifty years plus years. Never get tired of hearing it
Ray Davies has written some of the most clever lyrics in rock history. The tunes aren't bad either.
Out of all British Invasion bands, I think the Kinks are clearly "the most British", in terms of lyrical content and overall aesthetics.
Unfortunately they never invaded in the first wave because Ray lamped a jobsworth and entry was denied for a while.
"Waterloo Sunset" one of my favorite songs.
In the 60s it was The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Kinks in that order.
I sar Ray Davies a few years ago on a 2000 seat club. I was in the front row. I'll never forget that.
"You Really Got Me" is a must review.
MORE KINKS PLEASE!
yup exactly! Beatles, Stones, and the Kinks
No argument from me about who the top two bands were, but it was a pretty close-run thing for third place, IIRC, between the Kinks, the Animals and the Who, all of whom were hugely popular... Of course some people had their favourites, but many of us loved them all.
I'd say the work of all three has stood the test of time, and just as it was back then, some still have their clear favourite. I'd personally probably rate them equally in joint third position of the greatest bands of the 60s. In that decade of extraordinary musical creativity, that's no minor position for any of them to be in.
As songwriters though, I'd rate Ray Davies equal second with Jagger/Richards behind the unbeatable Lennon/McCartney team. His catalogue of gorgeous and unique songs especially celebrating or satirising the English way of life is just that good. I wish I had 1/8th of his talent!
Who says in that order? I put The Kinks right there with anyone else, God save The Kinks!
In 1973 I had a teacher in high school who had in his record collection only two bands the Beatles and the Kinks.
Seems reasonable...
Oh yes, loved the Kinks :)
The start of this song, like the Beatles "Taxman", is about how in the 1960s, Britain (like the US and many other countries) had an incredibly high tax rate for top earners such as rock stars, as high as 95% in some cases.
Yes, they beat the Beatles by 2 months with this wonderful song.
Another good Kinks song is "Well Respected Man"
There are so many!!!
Ray Davies was lead singer, brother Dave played lead guitar.one of their first hits was You Really got me. It's good! Waterloo Sunset is one of their best known songs. - Dave penned one called Death of a clown which is also very good. They were a very successful outfit.
Kinks are so much to me, as are the who, humble pie,the beatles,cream,Donavon.
Waterloo Sunset paints a perfect picture of London
Love the sarcasm of this one.
We didn't mind the accent here in the US. Always sounded kinda cool to me.
This is one of their best songs, that casual Kinks fans have never heard. This is very cool.
The early Kinks songs are great too... “All Day and All of the Night,” “You Really Got Me,” “Tired of Waiting for You”... and a good late one (from the mid-Eighties) is “Come Dancing.”
This is early Kinks?
@@rafaelorantes7185 Yes, I meant to say "other early Kinks"
Some other great Kinks songs from the 1960s: Well-Respected Man, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Waterloo Sunset, Dead End Street, Two Sisters, Rainy Day in June, Dandy, Do You Remember Walter?, Shangri-La, Some Mother's Son.
This song is hysterical!!!
It was the most exciting period of the group Kinks. You should check out the great songs from that year - "Dead End Street", "Rosy Won't You Please Come Home", "Too Much on My Mind"...
Excellent point about Ray's signing style. He always sang in his working class North London accent. And I never realized it, but you are right. It distinguished the Kinks from every other British band including the Beatles into a lesser extent! Been a Kinks fan for decades and learned something new from Harri! Ray always was proud of where he came from and it was reflected in his songs like "Village Green Preservation Society", " Waterloo Sunset", "20th Century Man" and "Come Dancing".
May I suggest Celluloid Heroes by the Kinks….. a really good song 😎👍
Love this band. Love this song. It always sounded to me like a song Paul McCartney would write. There’s an American band called Creedence Clearwater Revival with a pair of feuding brothers. The band is amazing. I imagine your musical journey will eventually take you there. Good day Harri✌️
The Kinks have a huge diverse collection of great songs. I suggest "Really Got Me", "Celluloid Heroes", "The First Time We Fall in Love", "Muswell Hillbilly", "Waterloo Sunset", and "(Wish I could fly like) Superman".
Want a story song from the Kinks?. Check out "Autumn Almanac ". Fine reaction as always Harri.
One of the best summer songs of all time!! The harmonies are exquisite.
You can't go wrong with The Kinks in MHO. Also have a listen to "A Well Respected Man" and "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" by them.
Beautiful song. Another Kinks favourite (of mine) is This Time Tomorrow.
Kinks were the grandfathers of punk rock
Alot of The Kinks lyrics were tongue in cheek. May I recommend "Picture Book" and "Come Dancing."
I love "Come Dancing" so much. Such a sweet story.
The day they knocked down the palais
My sister stood and cried...
"Waterloo Sunset" and "Apeman" are my favourite's, but you should also check out their classics "All Day and All of the Night" and "You Really Got Me" if you haven't heard those already. Those last 2 are nearly the same song and really short, you could probably do them both in one sitting.
A favourite! Please do 'Victoria', 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion', 'Dead End Street', 'Come Dancing', 'Destroyer', and 'A Rock and Roll Fantasy'.
Dave's nickname for Ray is Grace and he ended the show when I caught the 'Sleepwalker' tour in Toronto in '75, playing the melody to 'Amazing Grace' over and over, after something triggered a tense exchange and possibly words between the brothers. 😯😲😠
😂✌😘🎶💞💃🎸
Thanks for this one , love 60s Kinks - big influence on Paul Weller . Ray's songs & voice , Dave's lead breaks...yum .
Dedicated follower of fashion, is another cool tune. I guess it was nothing for Ray and brother Dave to get into a fist fight on stage. She said Harry, keep the change. Yeah. Peace
There was a bit of piano in there that really made me think of the Doors. An influence?
.
The main instrumental hook, the descending scale on the guitar, is so simple but works so well. Sign of a great composer/songwriter.
Waterloo Sunset, You Really Got Me, Well Respected Man, are a must. Also they had a couple of hits in the 80's, Come Dancing is a great song. Thank you for your awesome reactions Harri.
"Destroyer" was a favorite of mine - on the album prior ("Give the People What They Want") than "Come Dancing" ("State of Confusion")
Another couple of amazing songs are "Mr Churchill says" and "Shangri-La".
You’d also love their song Come Dancing”. Try to get the official video as it helped tell the story
THE KINKS "WATERLOO SUNSET" & "SLEEPWALKER"
A fantastic song you are so right
Love The Kinks === LOLA....
In the Summertime 😊😌!
You're thinking of that New Orleans jazz element to the song. Love that chorus.
Thanks! I couldn't quite work out what Harri was talking about there! But I think you're right, he was thinking of old time trad jazz...
@@papercup2517 I wasn't sure if that was what he meant, but that part always caught my interest, too. As well as the whole song.
Reached No 1 in the long hot summer of 1966.
One of my all time favorite songs . Thanks Harry.
If you haven't heard The Kinks "Waterloo Sunset", I'd highly recommend
i love “ The Destroyer” fun one!!!
Good point about the old-timey style. He’s got that in common with McCartney. It’s like the era of ‘When I’m Cleaning Windows.’ by George Formby. Please check that out. Please check out The Kinks ‘Well Respected Man’ and also, from that same mid-1960s era of English pop, check out ‘Lazy Sunday Afternoon’ by The Small Faces.’ A very unabashedly broad English accent to be heard there as an well old-timey song influence.
Great song by One of my all time favorite band!!!🎶👍🎼👌🎵✌😃
Early Kinks must listens are You Really Got Me, All Day and All of the Night, and Tired of Waiting, all big hits for them (you could perhaps do two or three of them in one go, if you wanted, since they're so short). Dave Davies (Ray's brother) played a scorching lead guitar that was hugely influential in the development of rock guitar, and the sound of rock in general.
Ray's song-writing creativity blossomed further with songs like Sunny Afternoon, Lola and Dedicated Follower of Fashion - all hit singles. A lot of other great songs were album tracks, IIRC (?), like See My Friends, Days, Victoria, and Well-Respected Man. He sort of cornered the market in songs that celebrated or satirised English eccentricity and the English way of life.
The crowning glory of his oeuvre though is the wistful masterpiece, Waterloo Sunset, which many people have requested here.
I recommend listening to the original studio version.
He's being incredibly sarcastic about one of the landed gentry complaining about how his circumstances have changed under a post war Labour government.
Possibly one of the most underrated lyricists of his generation.
Two recommendations, Dead End Street and Father Christmas.
I could go into many more, one of my favourite bands.
Ray Davies was & is England's Bob Dylan... He's written so many 'social comment" songs... A true gem. Check out his "Working Man's Cafe" album... 😊
I remember riding my Schwinn Stingray bicycle listening to this song on a small, crackly transistor radio. Summertime as a kid was always magical. This song makes me nostalgic. Peace.
Most of the bands in the 60s and early 70s English bands had he English accent hen singing. That’s why so many North Americans Canada and US females loved listening to them. English accents on this side of the Atlantic are irresistible to women.
The two Davis brothers used to get into punchups on stage
Just try the kinks "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" - just brilliant biopic of the sixties fashion scene in London - think Carnaby Street and Spice Island - so England sixties - London in focus.
ALWAYS loved this song - Kinks are so cool, I'd say the 90's version of them was the Violent Fems. Harri you should check out Blood, Sweat and Tears, lots of hits and unique. Not many have done them yet I don't believe. Think Tom Jones meets Chicago
There are many more songs by the Kinks you should listen to. You can't really go wrong with any of them. A lot of variety.
One of my Favourite Kinks songs! #1 song in the UK and reached # 3 here in Canada. ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
one of my favorites of theirs! also 'Well Respected Man', 'All of the Day and All of the Night', the version at the 1995 Rockin' Roll of Fame live video is a great one to check out! 'Apeman' from the same album as Lola. There are ton more great Kinks songs! Just another awesome rabbit hole to go down....' Destroyer', 'Come Dancing' another great one...ahhh I can't stop...lol
.
Great choice ... maybe you should try Celluloid Heroes ... or Muswell Hillbillies
Face To Face-- The Kinks Love this song and the whole album.
Oh yes, the tax man has visited the Kinks - great song among many others !!
Maybe you're thinking of ragtime music? Great reaction. Its a great song with hilarious lyrics of run of the mill living. But thats ok because the best things in life are free like sunshine, though you may have to spend a little for that ice cold beer. Thanks Harri for the react 🍻
I love The Kinks, one of the best British bands of all time. They had a string of classic singles followed by several concept albums and then the arena rock period. I love the other songs recommended below, also 'Tired of Waiting for You', 'Stop Your Sobbing' (covered by the Pretenders), 'I'm Not Like Everybody Else', 'Where Have All the Good Times gone', 'Love Me Till the Sun Shines', 'Picture Book', '20th Century Man', '(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman', 'Do It Again', 'Better Things', 'Misfits', 'Low Budget', 'Living on a Thin Line', 'Father Christmas' and 'Scattered'.
by the way ... the brother's name is Dave Davies .... It's people like you that made him write the song You Don't Know My Name 😂😂 . Greetings from Berlin
"Lola" is popular with those who don't know "The Kinks".
'Waterloo Sunset' is the quintessential Kinks song that sums up everything that is good about them. Slightly more obscure, but for those who know The Kinks well 'Victoria' is something of a fan favourite.
The village green preservation society is the most English song ever!!
English taxes were a perenial horror-story that was so well known to Brits that everyone in the world understood the issue. These songs weren't even tip o' the iceberg - the tax complaints were going long before this since the UK was fairly bankrupted by WWII.
The Kinks have many, many great songs. My favourite is Victoria. John Lennon said his favourite song of 1968 was Wonderboy - which wasn't a massive hit in the UK, but is another great song.
According to Ray, Big Fat Mama represents the Government not his wife.
Check out "Dead End Street" by this group.
I have to add my voice to get you to do Waterloo Sunset. That song just makes me happy.
The only problem with WS is to find a live performance that's as good as the original studio recording. I don't think there's even a Top of the Pops mimed version surviving.
Possibly THE most beautiful song to come out of the oh-so-beautiful 1960s.
Best to go with the original studio version, Harri if you're listening....
@@papercup2517 Agrree 100%. Studio version is the way to go for this song. It’s all about the vocals.
I love this song, though I doubt I'd be alone in thinking that the B side was at least its equal, a song called I'm Not Like Everybody Else. Its been used a few times over the years as background music on various tv shows and adverts.
Great song ! .. It was done here in Australia by an eccentric band called Jimmy and The Boys .. Loved it .. Check it out on YT if you haven't heard their version .. Cheers, Wayne
Pete Townsend of The Who considered Ray to be the greatest British songwriter. David Bowie was also a great fan. The Kinks were banned from touring America until 1970 because of their violent propensities onstage and the American unions would not deal with them. This caused Ray to look inward and explore English music hall and other British musical influences . The albums resulting were commercial failures but are now celebrated as masterpieces. Anything from the Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur , something Else, are magnificent. Try Yes Sir , No Sir from Arthur.
DAVIES is most amazing and the KINKS are like way up there yet somehow not as well known.
Have a listen to Apeman by the Kinks.
Tax was high in 60s 90% hence Beatles taxman song ext
Sunny in London! No way. "Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty" makes me laugh every time.
Is that a Fender acoustic that Ray is strumming?
Looks like a strat neck and headstock on a dread body.
It makes me wonder if the British Government ever got the message over taxing one of their greatest assets ~ Ray & Dave Davies tends to spend more of their time in America to avoid those taxes
I love The Kinks. Never got a satisfactory answer as to why they never succeeded in the U.S.
Ray Davies is up there with Lennon & McCartney for me, he came up with so many memorable hits. As you say he didn't adopt a mid- Atlantic accent, very British through and through, proud of his working class roots and English heritage. The only disappointment for me is that,( like a few other bands like The Troggs and The Small faces), they didn't get the audio quality that The Beatles had on their records. I guess now they have a certain charm of their own, like old faded photographs from another era, but there always seems to be both a harshness yet lack of clarity to the early Kinks recordings, the vocals sound too compressed and slightly distorted to me. The production doesn't seem to have enough time or care, which may (as also in The Troggs case) be down to getting the session over with before there was a fistfight. The songs however are masterpieces, Ray is a genius at painting little vignettes of everyday life, much like many of McCartney's songs, they're poetic, evocative vignettes in a very quickly changing era, a hint of nostalgia for a vaudevillian world.
@Harri u react 2 Blancmange Day Before You Came abba cover
I doubt it was autobiographical, maybe based on someone else, or just imagined.
This song covers the same theme as the Beatles "Taxman" - the squeeze of a tax system taking most of these guys new found wealth
Tax man . Back then the tax rate was over 80 percent of income and you could transfer money to foreign countries if you went on holiday you could only take 50 in cash .
You don't think they where singing about weed? 'blazing'?
They would have been the Beatles but they were banned in the USA
Is it just me, or is Dead End Street, essentially the same song song from a working man's perspective?
