Other peoples lives is another great Ray album. Right now I’m hooked on his demo recordings from the musical 80 Days. It’s on RUclips and fantastic. Sounds best with Bluetooth headphones. Peace. 😁
The list of major artists who have covered The Kinks is just incredible. It would make any songwriter proud. And Kinks style guitar riffs are everywhere, even now.
The Kinks career never really recovered it's initial stellar trajectory after being banned from touring the US in the 60's and a succession of ambitious and maybe prescient but deeply flawed theatrical concept albums in the 70's. That said, the songs of Ray Davies can rub shoulders with the likes of Lennon/McCartney, Brian Wilson, Pete Townshend, Elton John, Queen, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Jagger/Richards et al.

The late Kinks albums were great

Some astute analysis here put across very well. Thank you.

I loved the concept albums …especially the incredible 80 DAYS bootleg! 700 songs in their catalog with 20 new songs coming!
Right, selling out Madison Square Garden in the early 80’’s is weak.
