Arthur could not be ...It's my favorite as well. Arthur could not be more relevant today... as suburbia dies and people are still brainwashed with nothing to say. Ray (and Dave) as social-political songwriters has never been discussed. The fact that the Kinks are the freshest things I have heard in most recent memory and the giant gipping they've gotten from history and the dull-minded critics lead me to think people need to do a major rethink on what was probably the best British rock n roll band ever, the Kinks. I sort of have them tied with Beatles and Zeppelin, but their stuff holds us so much better than the Beatles -- especially the Beatles' early stuff, which i think is boring and lackluster. And the lyric writing is better than Zeppelin... so hats off to the Kinks, our working-class heroes! Regensordohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122662560471519420noreply@blogger.com
