    1964 ya'll!! Way ahead of their time with this thundering guitar riff. That's 17 year old Dave Davies on guitar, and older brother Ray on vocals. Ray ended up being one of the greatest songwriters of his generation. Late 60's early 70's they were totally in their own lane, but hugely influential. Amber would love "Days" or "Waterloo Sunset" both are beautiful heartfelt songs you will never forget.

    Glad you did the Kinks, one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Part of the early British Invasion groups of the sixties. The group was built around the Davies brothers, Ray and Dave. Ray was the genius composer and the younger brother Dave was lead guitarist and singularly responsible for creating the distorted power chord sound by razoring his amp's speaker cone. Important because it laid the foundation for heavy metal. the Kinks released 28 albums to date and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Ray incorporated many differing styles into his songwriting and as a result much of their discography may sound eclectic but has produced some of the greatest rock songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's. They also were wonderful to watch in performance, at least when the brothers weren't actually fighting onstage. Some of the more memorable songs aside from You Really Got Me include: All Day and All of the Night, Victoria, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Sunny Afternoon, Well Respected Man, Waterloo Sunset ( one of the prettiest rock songs ever penned), Lola, Come Dancing, Apeman, and the remarkable Everybody's in Show-Biz. The Kinks were a major influence on almost every rock group who came later and who based their work on catchy riffs. They remain active independently, although several of the original and subsequent members have passed, yet the brothers, and Mick Avory the drummer are very much alive yet haven't appeared together as the Kinks for years.

    Originally called The Ravens The Kinks decided on their name during the profumo affair affecting the British Goverment in 1963. Discussions about "kinky sex" involving members of the establishment were all over the media, and The Ravens decided changing their name would give them some publicity. As a previous correspondent has stated when You Really Got Me was recorded Dave Davies had slashed the speaker cone of his guitar amplifier and got that crunchy fuzzy riff. This song has been cited as possibly the first heavy metal song, although Louie Louie by The Kingsmen (an influence on The Kinks and covered by them) is also cited. The Kinks were influenced by Chuck Berry and rhythm and blues music. After writing and recording several standard pop songs, Sir Ray Davies tried of it and wanted to write about what he observed around him. This is when The Kinks became more interesting. They recorded probably the first "raga rock" song (pop music influenced by eastern sounds and rhythms) See My Friend, a song widely acclaimed by Pete Townsend of The Who which influenced The Beatles to get a sitar, despite the song not using any Indian instruments. The Kinks then wrote and recorded more interesting and influential songs like A Well Respected Man (satirising an upper middle class man and the rigid class structure he comes from), Dead End Street (about working class poverty), Dedicated Follower of Fashion (satirising the shallowness of fashionable people in the swinging London of Carnaby Street and the Kings Road), Sunny Afternoon (inspired by a guitar player from Billy J Kramer and The Dakotas saying we may as well all give up now, when The Labour Party were elected in October 1964, and higher taxes were expected). The Kinks had brothers Ray and Dave Davies (one vocalist ,the other lead guitarist) chief members who had a very volatile relationship, often fighting with each other. It wasn't only the brothers that fought with each other, in one gig at Cardiff the drummer Mick Avory hit Dave Davies with a cymbal. Although not a one hit wonder in the USA the chances of The Kinks were severely diminished in the tour of 1965 when they fell out with a musician's union and were banned from touring the USA for 4 years. Sir Ray Davies had no interest in psychedelia and his music became more self consciously English. This is probably when he wrote his finest songs like Waterloo Sunset, Autumn Almanac, Days, and the albums became more thematic and interesting. Although unsuccessful at the time the albums The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur (or the decline and fall of the British empire) and Muswell Hillbillies are now regarded as classics, and were highly influential on a lot of British groups. Any of the songs I have mentioned are highly recommended. J and Amber should find them very interesting.

    Another Kinks song you should definitely check out is "Come Dancing" not only does it have horns but it is an energetic rocking good song. While making you feel happy, it also has a bittersweet quality that really hits home when you discover the background for how Ray Davies came to write the song. It's a tribute to his older sister Rene, who gave Ray a guitar on his 13th birthday and then tragically died of a heart attack later that night when she was out dancing. It's still a fun song but now you will probably have tears as you listen to the lyrics. Thanks for your great reactions to some beautiful music.

    Ray Davies is one of the all-time great songwriters, doesn't get enough credit. When you listen to this song, you hear the origins of garage band music (no, not the Apple software, the idea that anyone can meet up in their garage, plug in instruments, and just jam). Yep, precursor to punk.
    Also from The Kinks: "Lola" is required listening, from 1970. If no one hasn't already ruined it for you in the comments, the song lyric has such an edgy twist to it at the end, so ahead of its time.
    "Picture Book" was used in a TV commercial about 10-12 years ago and reignited some interest in The Kinks. That's a great song, worth listening to.
    And when I say Ray Davies is a great songwriter, that means he can explore more than one color in his style. One of the most gorgeous songs of this era is "Waterloo Sunset." Slow and mellow, it really transports you.
    Not sure why this band is mentioned in the same sentence as The Black Crows, except that the bands both featured brothers who were not always very nice to each other!
    Love your enthusiasm. You help me live these songs over again for the first time. Peace.

    This is also the very first use of an “overdriven and distorted” guitar sound that became instantly popular after this song.
    Created by Dave Davies, when he didn’t like the sound he was getting out of his amp and took a razor blade to the cone of the speaker to destroy it, his brother Ray came in with a new song “you really got me” which Dave played on his newly destroyed amp and this was the outcome.

      @@highpath4776 Most Kinks fans have heard the story of how Ray Davies invented the Kinks' groundbreaking 'You Really Got Me' guitar sound by stabbing an amplifier with a knitting needle -- just as most Kinks fans have heard that it was actually Dave Davies who came up with that scuzzy fuzztone, when he slashed his amp with a razor blade in a fit of frustration. The knitting-needle version is making the rounds again, courtesy of Ray's 'Sunny Afternoon' stage musical, and Dave wants to make sure everyone knows his side of the story.
      "My brother is lying," states Dave flatly in a recent Facebook post. "I don't know why he does this, but it was my Elpico amp that I bought, and out of frustration I cut the speaker cone up with a razor blade, and I was so shocked and surprised and excited that it worked that I demonstrated the sound to Ray and [Kinks bassist] Pete [Quaife] … Ray liked the sound, and he had written a riff on the piano which formed the basis of the song 'You Really Got Me,' and I played the riff on my guitar with MY new sound. I ALONE CREATED THIS SOUND."
      Flatly denying that Ray ever "stuck a knitting needle or anything else in my amp," Dave continued, "I am just flabbergasted and shocked at the depth of his selfish desire to take credit for everything. I never once claimed songwriting royalties on 'You Really Got Me,' yet this song would not have happened without my guitar sound."

    This is early 60s and, with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, The Kinks were one of the biggest British bands of the era. I think this is their first big hit. That raw sound is said to have influenced heavy metal and punk. But as their career progressed lead singer Ray Davies developed into an extremely talented lyricist who specialised in poetic observations about British society and characters. _Lola_ is from the late 60s and a very different song from _You Really Got Me,_ but very good. Other great Kinks songs are _Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Dead End Street,_ and _Waterloo Sunset,_ which is one of the most lovely pop songs ever.

The street I lived in was a dead end street and I could not see much of a future in the UK at that time. The Kinks recorded a song called "DEAD END STREET" which seemed to fit my situation at that time and it played a large part in me making the decision to emigrate to Australia which I did with my wife and our 4 young children in 1970, we have made a good life here in Aus and have no regrets about emigrating here I have been involved in several bands here and my eldest son and my eldest daughter have also been in several band here, music runs in our family...I would greatly appreciate you reacting to "DEAD END STREET" by the Kinks...Thanking you in advance.

    The Kinks, one of the best bands to come out of the 60's British Invasion! Right up there with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Definitely NOT simply a "one hit wonder". Far from it. lol. THANKS!

    "You Really Got Me" was written by Ray Davies, the Kinks' vocalist and main songwriter, sometime between 9 and 12 March 1964. So they were gaining fans right around the same time as The Beatles stormed America with their #1 singles. Both were from Englend. Amber, you may have heard the Van Halen cover of this song.

    Ray and Dave Davies (& rest of band) were part of British Invasion (of rock bands) in early to mid 60's, Beatles Rolling Stones Kinks etc. etc....I always liked them because they had a lot of subtle social commentary as part of many of their songs check out "A Well Respected Man" from 1965...

    “Celluloid Heroes” - a gorgeous tune, it was 10 or so years later than this.
    Definitely not one-hit-wonders, they had many hits and straddled several eras/styles. Two more I haven’t seen mentioned much here: “Sunny Afternoon” and from ‘81, “Better Days”

    Not even close to a one hit wonder, they're one of the greatest bands ever! "Waterloo Sunset" , "All day and all of the night" , "Ape man", "Lola" , "Supersonic Rocketship" , "Days" , "This Time Tomorrow"

    Solidly mid-60's! Like thousands of other bands that sprang up in the 60s and early 70s, the Kinks were initially inspired by the Beatles - 'You mean ordinary blokes like us could get up there and play in a band and have all those women screaming for us? - We're in!" - they went on to inspire many other bands with this innovative venture into hard rock.
    The lead singer, Ray Davies, developed into a fantastic, creative songwriter, tackling many different subjects beyond the teenage love genre, and his brother Dave on lead guitar introduced the idea of distorted guitar amp sounds by slashing his with a razor blade to get the 'dirty', grinding distortions he could hear in his head. Hugely influential on later 70s rock music.
    Other early Kinks hits similar to YRGM from this same time period are All Day and All of the Night, and Tired of Waiting.
    Later, some stand out hits were: Dedicated Follower of Fashion (comical take on 60s Carnaby Street (UK) male fashionistas), Waterloo Sunset (try the studio version first) - generally acknowledged as one of the best songs of the entire decade, Sunny Afternoon (there's a fun video of them performing it in the snow, in the middle of winter), and Lola (spoiler alert: it's a wry story about a friend's true life encounter with cross-dressing 'lady' in a sleazy Soho bar) which was hugely daring in its time for its sympathetic take on some controversial subject matter. Days is gorgeous and melancholic, and See My Friends is an enigmatic, dreamy venture into the more gentle, introspective side of psychedelia, and definitely worth a listen.

    Lots of us who started buying records about this time didn't buy Beatles records, but we couldn't get enough of the Kinks, the Animals, Beach Boys, Motown, and others. The Beatles were huge, but not everyone's touchstone for music at the time, or every artist's musical influence. Thankfully we all had so many wonderful choices!

    One of the most influential rock songs of all time, all the way back in ‘64. Peers of the Beatles and Rolling Stones, part of the British Invasion. They have so many good songs: All Day and All Night, Waterloo Sunset, Lola, Sunny Afternoon, and many more!
