Hailing from Muswell Hill in London, The Kinks were one of the top
British bands of the sixties, with over twenty hit singles
including a trio of number ones (including the famous paean to
their home city 'Waterloo Sunset'). They had over a dozen top
ten's, thanks to the clever and sometimes sardonic songwriting of
Ray Davies, who dominated the band and deservedly went on to be
knighted. When the seventies came along, they recorded a number of
critically acclaimed concept albums, and their live shows became
more theatrical with the band shifting focus to become pioneers of
arena rock in America. Following a resurgence of commercial
popularity in the late seventies and early eighties, the band
continued to record interesting and lyrically insightful albums.
They last performed together in 1996. The combination of Ray's
songs and the musicianship of the band - including his brother Dave
Davies, with whom Ray had a rather tempestuous relationship, has
resulted in The Kinks being named as a major influence for many
bands. This book examines all the tracks released by The Kinks,
both singles and albums, and provides a valuable insight into one
of music's greatest groups.
