The Best English band of all time.

" So Tired of Waiting For You" is a awesome song of theirs everyone is missing. Great hooks in it.

Yes, one of their classics.

I grew up with the music from the British Invasion. The Kinks were huge & had a lot of hits. I especially love their music from the 60's & 70's. "You Really Got Me", "All Day & All Of The Night", "Set Me Free", "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion", "Tired Of Waiting For You", "A Well Respected Man", "Waterloo Sunset", "Dead End Street", "Autumn Almanac" etc.

Remember this one- "Who Will Be The Next Inline?"

The Kinks songs tell a story. So many to choose from. Take a deep breath and dive into it

A song from my childhood!!! The Kinks always had a sense of humor along with amazing music🎶 Enjoy!

The Kinks are one of the truly great bands of all time. And one of the most influential. They pretty much invented hard rock with "You Really Got Me", and then into devastating character observations mostly to the tune of incredibly catchy music. And I love "Strangers" too man. Everyone will have recommended the obvious songs, so I'll lay a few deep cuts on you, Biz. Try these ones out man: "Shangri-La", "See My Friends", "Big Black Smoke", "Dead End Street", "Days", "Picture Book", "Plastic Man", "This Time Tomorrow", "20th Century Man", "Sitting In My Hotel Room", "Days", "David Watts", "Acute Paranoia Schizophrenia Blues" and...well that's probably enough for now. The Kinks are rock music's best kept secret.

The Kinks were great, one of the most underrated bands of all time.

The Kinks' 20th Century Man was on the charts in 1971, that year between high school and the Army for me. I could really relate to it then, and now.

The Kinks are right up there with the Beatles and Stones in my dojo - love them!

Over the Stones in my opinion

Waterloo Sunset Lola Celluloid Heroes Three great songs by the Kinks 😊

The Kinks were so very clever, I have loved every song I've heard. Many good songs listed here in the comments. Their song are quite varied, but alway a little bit quirky. The Kinks were a great rock band way ahead of their time and a big influence on other artists.

😂lol, this song still makes me laugh. Like a lot of Kinks songs, it never gets old. One of their most influential songs was "All Day and All Night." This song was a pioneer of garage rock and seedling of the punk revolution.

That's one of my very favorite Kinks songs. For your next Kinks song, I recommend "Waterloo Sunset". I would expect that anyone that likes "Sunny Afternoon" would like "Waterloo Sunset", and vice versa.

They are Fire

Im Not Like Everybody Else and Til The End Of The Day are two of their best songs.

I was lucky to have been a teen at this time love the Kinks.

II've always liked this song from way back in the early 70s. Great Lyrics.

"I'm not like anybody else" is my favorite and it's Ray Davis's also 🔥🔥🔥🔥 oh and Oingo Biongo does a great cover of "you really got me" 🤯

I love this song! It is so underrated. Good to see I'm not the only one with exquisite taste in music. ;) Great reaction. Thanks.

I'm glad I grew up in the sixties, with this fantastic music! ❤🎶🎶👍

You gotta listen to Lola, it's an absolute 💯 classic by The Kinks

Goodness the Kinks are great. This one made my Summer playlist.

This is meant to make fun of a wealthy ne'er-do-well, part of the British upperclass and what he see's as problems, which aren't really problems. He's the problem. Sung in such a delightful, laid back, dreamy way. He just wants to carry on and forget about it all. The chorus is so wonderful and catchy. You can't help but sing it and of course, we all love to live so pleasantly and would love a life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon in the summertime. Oh, yeah. There is a saying "No whining on the yacht".

Biz! The Kinks are my favorite British Invasion band! They are so good. Was very fortunate to see them live in 1980! Rock n Roll Fantasy, Living on a thin line. The complete Low Budget album. And so many more.

The Kinks are great, Ray Davis songs are a perfect example of the British sense of humour!😅😂

If there was no Kinks, there would be no Sex Pistols. If no Sex Pistols, no Ramones, if no Ramones, no Blondie. It all flows from a single spring.

What is cool is that you too now have these apps, or songs, installed...that can be recalled in order to create moods, as this one does so well. You get to the sense of the song a lot better than your peers. And you have a great selection of songs to boot. Long live BizMatik! Check out their excellent and timely Father Christmas, which you will love love love.

Glad you love the Kinks Biz!! Try Dead End Street, Superman, You Really Got Me, Sleepwalker....

Love the Kinks! I was 17 when i got into their music in 76/77. Sleepwalker, and Give The People What They Want, were some of their best mid Seventies rock albums. One of my faves from Ray and Dave Davies is "Better Things" ❤

Kinks are a vibe - worth a dive into 😊

The Kinks and Ray Davies were seriously talented. A number of his songs are rather clever commentaries on society ("Lola" is another one). The subject of this song comports nicely with the Beatles' "Taxman". You might want to listen to the Kinks' "Ape Man" which is also another social commentary song couched in an artful parody.

Check out Shangri-La by the Kinks. It is an absolutely amazing song. Plus it's a banger.

Love this great old song! You need to also do their song "Waterloo Sunset." Another good one is "Apeman."

I always loved the kinks❤❤😂❤

My Kinks favorites were All Day and All of the Night and You Really Got Me, and Lola!

Kinks are awesome 🎉

Your image of the guy with dark sun glasses with the world crashing around him is pretty spot on. Sunny Afternoon is from a semi-concept album about a guy who worked hard, made his money, bought the house in the country, and then the money went to his head and he ruined his life. It is kind of lost innocence. Before Christmas, you gotta play the world's greatest Christmas rock song: Father Christmas by the Kinks. If you want a 60s funny, try Dedicated Follower of Fashion. So many good Kinks songs. You will get a lot more subscribers if you play them!

@@kensolar69 In the song House in the country it mentions work a couple of times but I don't think it really matters. The Kinks are the best!

Ray Davies has said that one of the proudest moments in his life was listening to 100k people singing Sunny Afternoon at Wembley Stadium when England won the World Cup. He was 21 or 22. Ray was eventually knighted for his service to Art and the Kinks were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame the year they became eligible.

You’re the best- hadn’t heard this song in years.

" God save the Kinks ."

Love this song. Great use of it in the movie Pirate Radio which has a banging soundtrack BTW

Since it's Christmas time their "Father Christmas, give me some Money" is a good one.

Temporarily embarrassed millionaire song. Heh. Check out The Kinks "Father Christmas" before it's too late. Also check out "Victoria", "I'm Not Like Everybody Else", "Destroyer", and "Come Dancing", if you haven't already.

Yes, the rich have a hard life...and get so little sympathy... until this... The Kinks were very much a working class North London band, and Ray Davies (who wrote and was lead vocalist on almost all the Kinks songs) has a wonderful observational sense of humour and whimsical way of looking at the world. He could conjure a whole life history in a few well chosen words. Waterloo Sunset is probably my favourite Kinks song, although I've noticed Americans don't all respond to it the way us Brits do. The references to ordinary scenes and ordinary people in London may be more relatable to us, striking deep into our minds and hearts. If you do decide to give it a listen, I recommend going for the studio version first. More upbeat early bangers from the Kinks include You Really Got Me - their first big hit. Another incredible song about our fair capital city is a little thing called Streets of London by the folk musician/one time busker Ralph McTell. It's a beautiful song that takes a compassionate look at the forgotten ones living on the streets in the 'swinging' 1960s. Maybe a timely one for the festive season. If you can find it there's a brilliant video of it on YT with lots of B&W photos/ footage of the real people the song calls us to consider.

Love the Kinks play Destroyer.

Love your song choices!

Thank you

00:55 that knowing look like “oh, we’re going there!?” 😂 It’s so weird, I couldn’t shake one tiny part of this song out of my head for days. I couldn’t even place the song. I asked my parents and they were like “oh! That’s the Kinks”. Listened for the first time all the way through and I’m obsessed. It’s really clever cos it kind of hooks you with that line like it’s relatable, then he starts going on about his stately home and his yacht 😂 but it’s still relatable by that first line and it’s so damn catchy.

Jimmy Buffett did a very good cover of this song.

They really sound like the Beatles in this one.

Back then in England a lot of bands had the sound everyone calls the Beatles style. It was a movement of style in Petersburg. The Beatles just got famous first, with it. Just like certain styles grow in certain cities of the USA like Grunge did in Seattle or Portland.

I love this song. Great reaction ✌️ ❤️ 🇬🇧

The Kinks also wrote a counterpoint song to this which looked at the other side of life - called “Dead End Street”.

Aww Biz, thank you. One of my favorite tunes.

Father Christmas since it is the season to be jolly.

If you want to see them doing this song, there is a video of them posted by ; Smurfstools Oldies Music Time Machine.

We actually listened to music back then!!!

Merry Mithras!

I'd love to hear you listen to 'A Rock and Roll Fantasy'. Cheers, mate, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the best in the New Year. 😊🤙🏼🎶❤️✨️🎄🕊🎅🏼🇨🇦

Check out their song, Apeman.

Its funny. When someone mentions The Kinks ill try to think of some of their songs and tend to come up blank outside of Lola and You Really Got Me. Then i hear one like this, a song ive known and loved all of my life. I know they have others too. I just cant ever think of them ony own.

One of their best. The British government used to take about 90 to 95 pct of their money!

Gotta do 20th Century Man and Celluloid Heroes,Catch Me Now I'm Falling,Rock and Roll Fantasy,Superman,Low Budget,Gallon of Gas,Misfits,Live Life,National Health,etc etc

Try out Holloway Jail, Nothing to Say, Shangri La, Yes Sir No Sir, Superman, & Lincoln County.

There are alot of great music from Kinks in the 70 also even if they didn't chart as they did in the 60. Mushwell Hillbillies 71/11, Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues, Holiday and Alcohol Everybody's in Showbiz 72/09, The two lovely Sitting in My Hotel and Look a little on the Sunny Side and of course Celluloid Heroes Preservation Act 1 from 73/11 is a little odd LP with more brass but it's one of my favorites. Cricket is a song that stands out. Sleepwalker 1977/02 and the first song Life on the Road with the line "And so I searched night and day To catch a kissable lady, But all that I caught was a cold," I think Ray Davies stands out when it comes to write about every day life like in Jo-Jo from 82/01 Give the People What They Want, About the husband coming home to his wife from work....... "He sits in the armchair, watching channel 4, His brains not expected home for an hour or more." Face to Face and The Village Green Preservation Society are fantastic LP's from the 60.....and one more, Misfit the first track from Misfits from 78. Good luck in the Kinks jungle.

One of the great British invasion bands

S U N N Y 🌞

Another masterpiece is Shangri-La

While this London band didn't reach the global heights of the Beatles they are regarded just as highly by many in England. Also, none of the Kinks owned a yacht 😂

Loves me some Kinks! Not in that way... Well...

The Kinks and The Who were the greatest British bands period. Next song Waterloo Sunset.

If you want some humor from the Kinks, check out "Plastic Man".🤣

Autumn Almanac, Dead End Street to name a couple

Makes me wish it was June instead of December.

Wrote in a time when the Englands highest tax rate was either 98 or 95%

The horrors of being a rich rock star. Try "Victoria" and "Well-Respected Man."

Apeman is great

Joe Walsh must have dug it (Life's Been Good?).

Muswell hillbillies full album.

LoL the big fat mama was the queen of England it's about taxes being to high the Beatles the rolling stones and the who and more have songs about taxes in England went to far but made for great songs

(P.S.- He's an irresponsible rock star. Taxman took all of his shit away. Including the yacht that he couldn't actually afford when he bought it. Don't judge him. He was super poor and then he was suddenly super rich. He f'd up.)
