The thing about the Kinks... it was all Ray. The other huge British bands from that era had collaboration on their side, but Ray singlehandedly (well, he had some help) put together a string of truly astonishing rock albums. It took me a while, but I even like his later conceptual stuff that's totally bloated and dated. This band is second to Sonic Youth as favorites go for me.
If you don't own Arthur, Muswell, Something Else, Village Green, Face to Face... you must buy them now. Soap Opera is really cool also, in a weird way.
