The Kinks
I'm watching a documentary about them with Ray Davis and I hadn't realised how prolific - and how good - they were. Brilliant! Any fans out there?

The Kinks were one of the first British bands to really break big in the U.S. where they toured constantly.
Ray Davies is an amazing songwriter - he can paint a scene with a sentence, reminds me very much iof Chuck Berry for that.
The band were down to play at the very first Glastonbury, but when the media referred to a 'little festival', the band's 'people' thought it would not do their reputation as a cutting-edge band any good to be assocaited with anything 'little' and they pulled them out of the gig. All fortgiven now though - Ray Davies played the festival last year.
