This may be my favorite song of all time. Ray Davies is a genius, and turned out an incredible body of work from FACE TO FACE to MUSWELL HILLBILLIES, of which this is the peak. Thanks for posting this.

Dude, you just covered 1966-71... you didn't even mention the dozens of classics fom 1964 and 1965...check out Schoolboys in Disgrace, Soap Opera, Give the People What they Want, etc. Many great Kinks nuggets can be found in the 70's and 80's, Ray and Dave's music is indeed timeless

You're right, of course. The early stuff stands with the best British Invasion rock, and they did plenty of good material in the 70s and 80s. But I think the '66-'71 era is their peak, and it never got better than "Waterloo Sunset," which I have seen turn people literally to tears.

It's a very good song and a historically important one. But don't throw the word 'genius' around unless it's deserved. Being able to put a few open guitar chords together doen't qualify you for genius. Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin etc were true geniuses. They had a Phd to the power of 10 understanding of their instruments and musical theory. Not the Kinks

Those were all geniouses, but they weren't particullarrly creative. They came from the classical period and so their music was all very structured and the same.

samdathi, when people refer to the Kinks genius, specifically Ray Davies, the genius is primarily in the songwriting craft of witty and social observations, supplemented by wonderful musical arrangements and melodic harmonies with brother Dave...there are many "technicaly gifted" musicians, but only one Ray Davies
