They are viewed as one of the top bands of the British invasion. A variety of there songs are known world wide.

Enough of calling the Kinks underrated. :angry:

He already covered it.

Glitterati 04-10-2005 01:25 PM

Hmmm....good point Badmoon, old fellow. However, it seems the only songs that really get played on the radio is "You Really Got Me", "All Day And All Of The Night," or "Lola."


I don't really like the first two songs (too poppy) but if they played more stuff like Lola, A Well Respected Man, Waterloo Sunset, etc., etc., that would be awesome.

Sure but there are also a great deal of songs that many still know who aren't fans. Like "Apeman", "Shangri-La", "Well Respected Man", etc

Speaking of UK bands, I had no idea how big Queen is in England, I'd say 2nd to the Beatles, it's crazy

I just borrowed The Rolling Stones' [I]Tattoo You[/I] and The Beatles [I]The White Album[/I] out of the library about an hour or so ago:).

Have you ever heard anything off the White Album before? If not then you are about to hear one of the best peices of recorded music of all time. All the songs are great on it, though I like Helter Skelter the best

I'd heard [I]Back In The U.S.S.R., Happiness Is A Warm Gun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da[/I], and [I]Helter Skelter[/I] before. Other than that, it was all new.

I really liked Bungalo Bill, though. Cool song. I only listened to about half the first disc, but I'm going to listen to it all the way through tonight.

Distant Echoes 04-10-2005 06:40 PM

I got the 2nd disc to the white album off a friend, but it was really messed up. All the songs were jacked up, and faded in and out at random times. I dont know how that happens, but i didnt even bother listening past song 4.

Im waiting to find somebody else that has it, since its rediculously priced.

That's cool, my library doesn't have music like that...although sometimes I get jazz or blues CDs.


Who do you guys think is your favourite American band?
My favourite would be The Doors...although I could name a few that I really like.

I was just thinking about following up my Abbey Road purchase with a White Album purchase. (Although I still need to get a Cream album or compilation... but, anyway.) Based on my loving Abbey Road, is White Album a good idea?

I've got plenty of music to tide me over in the meantime, as my new purchases of Abbey Road and Are you Experienced? will tide me over long enough.

Glitterati 04-10-2005 06:53 PM

The Doors are one of my favorite American bands. Off the top of my head, I also like The Velvet Underground and The Eagles.

However, I prefer a lot of American solo artists (Dylan, Hendrix, Springsteen) to a lot of American bands.

Ya same here. That's why I made sure I said bands, not artists. Dylan would be at the top of my list. And I've never quite figured out whether The Hendrix Experience is considered American or British.

Thats a hard one. You know if you haven't heard Cream before I would go with the Cream.

Against Miik! 04-10-2005 06:56 PM

You can't go wrong with the White Album. I'm sure if you like the Beatles you will enjoy it. And there are so many fricken songs on it, you are bound to like at least a handful.

jpj 04-10-2005 06:57 PM

The Allmans are the best American band, no questions asked, followed by The Dead.

I think Hendrix was an a American, but he spent the majority of his career in England.

He played in America first with bands like The Isley Brothers, but he went no where here, until he became an overnight sesation in Britan. So you could argue that he was from Britan or America.

On Yer Blues the vocals fade out halfway through the song on mine, I though tit was normal, but wierd nonetheless


Favorite American Bands:
-Doors
-Dead

Distant Echoes 04-10-2005 07:04 PM

My fav american band might be the doors, but the allmans come close, and the dead doesnt lose a bit of my respect either, though i prefer other music over them

lunch998 04-10-2005 07:04 PM

Good things in America: Allmans and San Francisco.

I never liked them until a few months ago when I started to like them more and more till the point where I was fighting myself not to become a deadhead, but alas, I gave up. I guess I am a deadhead in training now

There's no point in resisting it.

Yea, it took me awhile to get into them too. The odd thing is the first Dead album I liked was Dylan & The Dead, but most people strongly dislike that albulm.
