/mu/, what Kinks album do you consider the best?
Village Green
The Kinks Greatest Hits
Being the best Kinks album is like being the skinniest kid at fat camp.
Village Green of course
Face to Face is very close second
And then Arthur or s/t in third
The one where the old guy rants about bowling alleys in a north of England accent.
Arthur

helllllllllllllllllllll yeah
Lola isn't the best but it's the one I go back to the most. Like the White Album
Arthur. Definitely Arthur.
But the other albums they released that era provide a sublime supporting cast
Something Else or Muswell Hillbillies.

With The Beatles
Village Green is my bible.

Face to Face>Village Green Preservation Society>Misfits>Lola Versus Powerman>Something Else By The Kinks>Arthur>Kinks>State of Confusion>Kinks Kontroversy>Uk Jive>Preservation 1>Word of Mouth>Muswell Hillbillies>Phobia>Kinda Kinks>Preservation 2>Low Budget>Sleepwalker>Think Visual>Everybodys In Show Business>Soap Opera>Schoolboys In Disgrace
Arthur, it's a totally unique album that doesn't have many if any peers.
You can argue that Village Green is better musically, but there are a number of albums that are similar.
