    For me, that scene at the end of the episode with Tony leaving his sisters' house and walking down the street alone sums up the whole series and James Gandolfini himself in some strange way... Rest in peace maestro 1961-2013.

      They have a vast catalog. Some albums are better than others but The Kinks have remained relevant more than any other band. I highly recommend their last album, as a group, "Down to the Bone". It is all live with either a studio audience or music venues. This sounds like the version from "Down to the Bone", which was also used on an episode of "The Sopranos". The Kinks were featured a few times on that series.

    "I won't take all that they hand me down..." LOVE THAT LINE. What a masterpiece that song, so far ahead of its time. It is fine now to say we are neurodivergent or different, many of us now feel that kind of odd pride at being well, who we are, because everyone else is taken. Of not being overly conformist at least. But in 1966 it was visionary and brave. Kinks > Beatles if you ask me, criminally underrated.

      +wouter038 That's the way I took it, too. He's always resisting help and in a constant battle with himself over every little thing and I think in a way at that moment he was jealous of Janice, or maybe he just didn't believe her. So he hit "below the belt" (which he's accused her of doing before) and brought her own child and her own hypocrisy to test just to prove if only to himself that anger management is bullshit. But it is absolutely self-serving on his own part. He has to believe that other people are just as bad as he is, otherwise his own crisis of conscience is actually winning the battle. He HAS to believe people cannot improve and that they are just the way they are.

    Was never much of a Kinks fan, mainly because my ex loved them, but I have to say this is a very good song. Heard it on The Sopranos, the scene when Tony pushes Janice’s buttons and then casually strolls away! LOL! This song fit that scene so well. I was floored.

      DoctorCena I completely agree and Dave Davies guitar is simply brilliant. It is hard to believe this song was a 60's song as sounds like a very modern rock song. When I first heard this on The Sopranos I thought it was a cover as too heavy and modern to be The Kinks but I was wrong and Ray Davies does a great job with the vocal.

      Some see them as proto-punk. The Kinks were played over the loudspeakers during a Punk/Rock festival a few years ago.
