That's what I'm talking about!!! Some cracking tunes right here and B-sides to boot, nice work man. Groovy tunes as usual.

I don't know if this one was inspired by the Beatles or not

Well they most certainly look like the Beatles and there is a distinctive Beatles vibe to this one for sure, but sure that can only be a good thing right?

With pop music pushing boundaries every day of that year, the Kinks kind of gave a big "f you" to everyone and let the world know they were going to do their own thing. Which they pretty much did for most of the late 1960's and early 1970's. Always one to march to their own beat, and for the most part, not get the same kind of attention as the Stones or Beatles or even the Who, the Kinks were quintessential 1960's Brit pop.

Ya sums the Kinks up very well, well and truly their own men and would march to their beat and no one else's..
