I always knew the Kinks were extremely underrated, but I had no idea why (apart from assuming most people like shitty music), until now. Thank you also for the many links to songs, some of which I'd never heard. Awesome :) I love this, thank you for posting it.

Only old farts dig them. Like you. There’s a reason why the Kinks are underrated… its because they are shit. Only old farts dig them. Like you.

I really think they're on the brink of breaking through to some extent, as silly as that sounds for a band who hasn't made relevant music for years (though Ray's newest albums ain't too bad.) I hope this pushes more people to dig a little deeper and find all the gold they have to offer. And if you haven't given it a listen, Muswell Hillbillies is just as cohesive an album as those two, in my opinion, but a fair departure musically. They finally discovered American blues and country on that one, and they blend it perfectly with their own sound and style. Yeah, they’ve been showing up fairly regularly in film.

I can't readily think of a band more deserving of a bit more attention than the Kinks. I definitely rate Village Green Preservation Society and Arthur or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire among my favorite albums (and Apeman among my favorite singles). I think they owe a bit of credit to Wes Anderson for his prevalent use of their music in his films to at least bring them some more indie cred these days. Their placement of Village Green Preservation Society in Hot Fuzz didn't hurt either. Well placed, sir. I can’t readily think of a band more deserving of a bit more attention than the Kinks.
