THE KINKS ARE THE... what he said up there...
Village Green Preservation Society/Do You Remember Walter/Picture Book/Johnny Thunder/The Last Of The Steam Powered Trains/Big Sky/Sitting By The Riverside/Animal Farm/Village Green/Starstruck/Phenomenal Cat/All My Friends Were There/Wicked Annabella/Monica/People Take Pictures Of Each Other
After the release of Sgt. Pepper in '67 the Beatles caused a wave of great albums as many of the best groups realised they had to raise their games. Pet Sounds is probably the best of these, The Stones effort, Their Satanic Majestie Request, possibly the most disappointing. The Kinks came up with this, a homage to English village life. Mixing traditional settings and contempary rock, nothing about this should work but it does, is great, and get's in the list. The Kinks were always masters of the urban tale and they effortlessly transport that to a more middle class view of the world with astounding ease. Very cosy.
