no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
No argument here, though I can't see the video you're posting here at work. They're all great tunes on that album, though. I think I'll listen to it tonight.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
For me, their last really good album....

Great album. God it came out long ago, I remember I bought it at Sears! I love most of it, Driving is a bit boring. Some Mothers Son was my fav.
Not sure as this is in the main forum but it doesn't seem like it'd be program.
Great, great album.
The deluxe edition definitely worth getting: IMO The Kinks material from the 60s is always best heard in mono.
Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?
I have to disagree with you. Soap Opera is a mother of a rock opera, and Lola Vs The Powerman ain't too shabby either.
I'll have to disagree with you (somewhat). A Soap Opera is my least favorite album of their '70s releases. Preservation and Schoolboys in Disgrace on the other hand...
Agreed that Lola vs. The Powerman is brilliant.
What was that about Preservation and Schoolboys In Disgrace? I've been wanting to get a copy of those. Which cd versions are the best?
I'm no audiophile.
I own these on vinyl and have had a few different copies on CD. Currently I have the most recent version of Preservation (on Koch), Act 2 being my favorite. Schoolboys I have the Rhino CD from a while back. I have no problems with the sound on this. YMMV.
Is Koch the label that released The Kinks hybrid cds?
Yes
Are these the best Kinks albums(?):
Face to Face
Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneyground part One
Muswell Hillbillies
The Kinks are the Village Preservation Society
Something Else by The Kinks
Arthur or a Decline and Fall of the British Empire
If it isn't Krautrock, it's krap.

Much love for this!
Sleeping at home is killing the hotel business!
Yes.
Arthur is the best of the bunch.
There are songs on Lola that bring me to tears.
Muswell is all sorts of drunk.
Village Green is pastorally pleasing.
FTF and Something Else are entirely pleasing pop.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Thx...cheers Matt
PS - what tunes on Lola?

"This Time Tomorrow" and "A Long Way from Home." One night, a long time ago, I was rather ... affected and lonely, and this back to back shot of pathos particularly punched me.
The memories remain.
For what it's worth, I got into The Kinks when I lived in Athens and breathed every second of the Elephant 6 southern psych scene I could: Olivia Tremor Control, Apples in Stereo, Summer Hymns, etc.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Don't forget "Get Back in Line" and "Strangers." Whew.

Never bought any of the Kinks 60s albums, but always liked the tracks I heard. (And I think I did have a Best Of.)
Don't sleep (no pun intended) on Sleepwalker and Low Budget, two albums from the late 70s or thereabouts. Both are excellent imo.
This is a phenomenal tune. That melodic line stays with you for hours.

And Rats - love the bassline in that - John Dalton rules.
Well I also love the two Preservation Act albums - and I really love Everybody's in Showbiz Everybody's a Star - lotsa great songs on the studio half and some great fun on the live album.
As far as the best - between Muswell Hillbillies and Lola depending on my mood.
I love Mr. Churchill Says from this record.
Ray Davies is the man.
