With news that the Kinks may be reforming for a 50th anniversary tour it is worth pulling out those greatest hits collections and remembering what a great singles band they were in the early and mid 60's. Later they did produce a couple of good LPs but I never felt that they made that transition as well as either The Who or The Stones. However I know people who swear by The Village Green Preservation Society and The Muswell Hillbillies.I have good compilations and on both LP and CD but The Ultimate Collection here is pretty complete.
Waterloo Sunset has to be one of the best songs about London ever written. However the quality is there throughout from You Really Got Me (complete with Jimmy Page's guitarwork), Sunny Afternoon, to later hits like Lola and Come Dancing.
