gettin' kinky


imagevia: http://www.davedavies.com/kink02.htm


I was headed somewhere on one of the county roads I traverse frequently when an old Kink's song came on the, admittedly, 'oldies' radio station. As 'All Day And All Of The Night', cranked up at the first few notes, came blasting through, I was reminded of how long it has been since I heard one of their tunes. They're not exactly on high rotation.

But the Kinks, one of my faves in their day, were a great band, played some great rock and roll. Once home, the song still in my head, I searched the web for several more.

So fasten your seat belts folks while we take a little trip in the Way Back machine.

  2. It's so fun to listen to these songs again after so long. A bunch of the new wave/punkers must have listened carefully to this music. They sound like the Ramones, played slightly more slowly. Very cool!!

    I ran for my grandson who plays, and they weren't a new band to him. Glad he appreciates the good music!

  10. OMG! I'm afraid to listen to the last tape as it is bed time and "You Really Got Me" will keep me rockin' for hours!!!

  11. It seems You Really Go Me (and my Piano Man) too. I wanted to listen to the last song because I haven't listened to it in while, so I put my headphones on--I thought--and the the "Girl you really got me..." that blasted out of my computer nearly gave my sleeping Piano Man a heart attack. The look on his face was priceless!
