And mercurial behavior like that damaged their career in the 60s (in fact they got banned from the states for a few years after Mick Avory and Dave Davies had a fistfight on stage) A great band though-no doubt about it. Ray Davies wrote incredible songs from 64 to 71.

Title: Re: The Beach Boys and The Kinks Post by: Ovi on March 10, 2012, 07:02:33 AM Really, really good article. And easily my favourite bands along with The Beatles and Pink Floyd. But this guy really knows his music.

Ray Davies wrote incredible songs from 64 to 71. Ray wrote incredible songs from 72 to 93, too. And there's some good stuff on Other Peoples Lives and Working Man's Cafe, too. |
