The Kinks
I am not one of those people who really loves the Beatles. I always liked the bands that arrived five minutes after the Beatles more: The Stones, The Who, The Kinks and so on. I said last week that Van Halen did a nice version of 'You really got me', but the original by The Kinks was actually rather amazing although rough and maybe charted a new direction for rock and roll. In this clip, watch for the dancing hipsters toward the end.
Busy busy morning, lots to show you later but glazing now.

Ray Davies was/is a musical genius. Great way to start the morning, Gary. Thanks.
It is true, isn't it? I think they charted the direction to modern rock and roll and the Beatles went toward modern pop?
Oh, what guitars!!!!
They look like a bunch of nerds though.
All though...Well Respected. :)
Most everybody in the early 60s looked like a nerd. Of couse, I was born in the mid-60s, so I never looked like a nerd myself...
