Welcome to Amity Tracks. This is a channel where we discuss a wide range of music related topics. The focus will be on music from the 1960’s through the 1990’s, but not exclusively. Classic rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, jazz, blues, folk, country, soul…all genres are fair game. From time to time we may dabble in other popular culture, such as film, history or sports. But music is primarily what we do here. The focus is on the music and the artists. We hope to encourage an open and dynamic community with fun and informative discussions not only in the videos, but also in the comments section. Please note that, while disagreement and discussion is welcome, no personal attacks or out of bounds comments will be tolerated. We want to be a part of the positive larger vinyl community and other like-minded, music focused communities.

Good discussion. The Kinks were the band that got me into music. Someone at school brought in One for the Road and I got a copy some months later and that was it. I spend the following years hunting these records down everywhere we went. They are still in my top 5 artists of all time though I don't listen to them as much in recent years, probably because I overplayed them.
Like you, I became a fan during the Arista years, saw them live every time they came to town and was never disappointed, and I will defend to my death this period against any snobbish Kinks fan who says otherwise. I love most of their mature albums from the 60s and early 70s, but Sleepwalker remains my favorite album by them (although Kink Kronikles might be the one I played the most!). Can't wait to see where it ends up on your list.
Soap Opera is unfairly underrated.
Kinks week, yes! So many different periods. I think my intro was "Come Dancing," although I already knew two of their tunes from the Van Halen covers.The one that kicked everything open for me was the compilation album The Kink Kronikles. From the opening song of "Victoria," I was in.
That one had an impact on a lot of people. That was one of the earlier Kinks records I owned as well. I'm going to talk about that comp in the third video.
I love the Soap Opera record and I'm pretty sure you turned me on to it in an earlier video...
Im thoroughly enjoying this ranking! I'm not familiar with a good portion of their catalog so I'll drop my top 10 in your next installment of ranking the Kinks! I find that I'm conditioned to pronounce it Davees over Davis.
Thanks! I look forward to seeing your picks. I know, it took me awhile on the pronunciation too. I think we Americans speak English better than the English do anyway.
Your Jethro Tull is my Kinks. This is going to be a tough watch.
But you are contractually obligated to watch all Amity Tracks material, so strap in and learn to love The Kinks!
I'll need the opened eye clamp treatment Malcolm McDowell got in A Clockwork Orange.@@amitytracks

Wow, never seen Soap Opera that high on a list, but I really like it as well.
@@amitytracks I could live without the spoken bits and I couldn't care less about the actual "concept" but I really enjoy the songwriting. Lots of hooks. For me, it's the dark horse in their repertoire.
