close

>>74218238
nah

>>74218238
I mean, when the default objective best is obvious (You know who I'm talking about, don't play dumb),

the next 5 are...

1. The Who
2. The Velvet Underground
3. The Kinks
4. The Beach Boys
5. The Zombies

I really fucking love the kinks but I'm not sure if they are a better band than the beatles

How did he do it?

>>74218309
the two most overrated pop albums of the 60s.

In the top 5 but TVU is number 1

I feel like the sound quality is awful on every Kinks release I've ever heard.

They weren't, but people think they're cool when they say otherwise.

But their best album was in the 70's.

It sincerely blows my mind that someone could actually think this.

>>74220056
You must get your mind blown a lot then.

>Beatles
>Zep
>Stones
>Who
Kinks are up there for sure. I'll give them Top 10 for sure because of the 3 minutes ditties. I'll give them Top 5 because they had socially transgressive songs with a fun chorus you can still sing while blackout drunk and groping a tranny. Plus that one they used on The Sopranos when a bunch of people got murdered - lyrics about the decline of the British Empire.

>You Really Got Me
>Lola
>Dedicated Follower of Fashion
>Living on a Thin Line

I suppose i'm often surprised at how shit some people's taste can be.

Just no, lol

This is deliciously ambiguous - and over 40 years old.

not even close

I LIKE The Kinks.

You can't start a thread calling something "the best", it triggers /mu/ and just causes every reply to be calling bands half as good better just to spite OP.

>>74221302
Not even top 25

They definitely far surpassed the Beatles when it comes to lyrics

>>74221718
Wow he did silly stuff on stage, that means their music is good. NO!

>>74221531
But that's all that's ever happened here

>>74221822
if you dont think the rolling stones are good then youre probably a loser

Not a single mention of the doors

fucking shameful

Later Kinks is underrated, people only talk about their early stuff and seem to hate everything after Lola, but they have a lot of really great songs in the 70's.

dubs trips speak the truth

>>74219916
yeah, I feel their production was pretty poor on most their early stuff.

>>74222000

My vote would be between the mothers and the velvets. Kinks are great though, villiage green society is one of the most underrated albums of that decade. But im not really a fan of the kinks pre village or after, just kinda like that one only.
