All Day And All Of The Night Lola Come Dancing
One of my all time favorite singer/songwriters!!! And, like me, he’s a summer solstice baby! 🌞🌅😎 So many great tunes… Better Days ✨ Celluloid Heroes Come Dancing Lola All Day and All of the Night
Greatest British songwriter of all time IMO. I could list a lot of songs but I'll just say my favorite thing he wrote is probably "Victoria".
Huge fan. I adore this man. His best album is Arthur or Muswell Hillbillies, but my favorite is-
Waterloo sunset - is there anything else for a Londoner??
Favorite song is Lola. I assume its a popular answer.
Living on a Thin Line
I saw The Kinks at Jones Beach, NY around the mid-1990s. So many good songs! youtu.be/MwJBtDOat_k?...
He plays at stocks and shares And he goes to the regatta He adores the girl next door And he’s dying to get at her Wow
“Everyone is dreamer and everyone is a star…it doesn’t matter who you are.”
The "Village Green" song, one of my favorite song ever (off "The Kinks Presents Village Green Preservation Society", one of my fave albums too)
Celluloid Heroes Waterloo Sunset School Days You Really Got Me All of the day and all of the night US debut on Shindig
Days. I want it played at my funeral (hopefully not soon)
They were my first concert in 1981. John Cougar opened at the Cape Cod Coliseum. I think fav album is One From The Road because of that
Low Budget. One of my childhood favs
My favorite Kinks album is probably Arthur, though there are five or six candidates for that honor. Song? Way way too many to pick one. But I Need You, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Animal Farm, Strangers (Dave), Here Come The People In Grey, The Hard Way, Juke Box Music, Scattered...
