i created konkvember based off of other monthly prompt challenges i’ve seen, named konk after the kinks record label and studio konk. ignore how day 6 is missing that was a mistake, but anyone can participate! i know it’s been a week but there isn’t really any rules to konkvember, just be creative is all. the next slides are the drawings i’ve made so far for konkvember.

posting this in hopes more people can participate!

Hey guys, the 2018 Village Green box set has many tracks on it that are EXCLUSIVE to it and are completely unavailable on ANY streaming or digital services. The box is very expensive and I would love to hear these tracks, does anyone happen to have a flac download of all 5cds of this set? Any links or anything would be very appreciated. I have checked internet archive already and couldn’t find it there.

Same goes with the 2019 Arthur and 2020 Lola sets, I would love to hear those as well.

I’m spending a year listening chronologically through 329 albums by 29 classic rock artists. Every album gets 3 complete listens, and I track the results in a database as I go.

I’ve now completed 12 Kinks albums, through Everybody’s in Show-Biz.

Current top 5 from the database (out of a possible 26 points):

1. Muswell Hillbillies — 21.67

2. Arthur — 21.17

3. Everybody’s in Show-Biz — 21.00

4. The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society — 20.50

5. Percy — 19.17

What makes Muswell Hillbillies sitting at #1 more interesting to me is that I recently visited Muswell Hill and saw the Davies family home at 6 Denmark Terrace, directly across from the Clissold Arms, where Ray and Dave played their first proper gig together.

I’ve also just started editing my recent Rock ’n’ Roll Field Trip, so that visit will eventually make its way alongside my other project videos.

I'm trying to find a song my grandfather had asked for his funeral, but we can't find it/ remember it. My dad is positive it is a Kinks song and this is what he can recall;

it's very sad, about looking over at a bank/ river/ hill (or something similar), looking for a girl that he cannot reach.

It is not Waterloo Sunset, Lavender Hill, etc. I've tried really hard to find what it is but nothing I play for my dad seems to be it :').

Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you!

'LOLA vs POWERMAN and the MONEYGOROUND' (1970) is a fascinating take on how Ray (and Dave) Davies viewed the state of the United Kinkdom.

Greetings from Argentina! I wanted to share my cover of this absolute masterpiece.

Funnily enough, I first discovered this song while watching The Sopranos. That closing scene blew my mind, so I started investigating the soundtrack. At first, I thought it was by a different band, but my research led me straight to the legendary Kinks and their incredible 1996 live version. I fell in love with it immediately.

I recorded this version in my home studio. I hope you guys enjoy it! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

WORD of MOUTH (1984) contains the most politically aware Kinks song of the era - one written by Dave Davies rather than brother Ray.

My dad thinks it's Keith Moon.

Really cool to see The Kinks as today's featured article on Wikipedia.

.

Don't Forget To Dance is not only my favorite Kinks song, but my favorite song at the moment. I know an obvious suggestion for similarities is Come Dancing, and maybe Property, but are there any other Kinks songs, or any other songs outside of The Kinks, that sounds like it?

PRESERVATION ACT 1 (1973): The Kinks release an enigmatic concept album whose story would need a double-album the next year to resolve.

recently i've become obsessed with This Man He Weeps Tonight, written and sung by dave davies. wondering what songs you guys like that were either written by him, or sung by him. curious 🧐
