Lola is one of the best rock songs I've ever heard.

It's one of the best pop songs of all time

Why are the Preservation albums so underrated? Sweet Lady Genevieve is their most gorgeous song, alongside Waterloo Sunset.

Sitting In the Midday Sun is great too, Mirror of Love is also one i'm quite fond of.

Although its not the greatest era for them, it feels like the last time they were 'The Kinks'. Does that make sense? They seemed like a completely different group by the late 70s when they became another Arena Rock group, and never got back that magic something they had from 1964-1974.

I'm on an island
i'll remember
village green and they basically invented distorted guitar rock
