NowhereMan, the Kinks Arthur is a fantastic album. Village Green is another great one too!
Agreed. I'm a Kinks fanatic and Village Green is my fave. Arthur is also top tier. I wouldn't have thought of it for this thread as I have always had the impression it got a good deal of acclaim. Many line up VG, Arthur, and Lola as one of the great album runs of all time.
The Kinks are pretty well known and respected as far as I know.
I like to think of them as the more badass version of the Beatles 😎 _________________ Jeff Lynne 5th Beatle
Viet Cong by Viet Cong. Many people are yet to discover how good this album is. I can’t wait to hear their next one!
you might already know this... they've released another since then and are prepping a release pretty soon this year, but they go by The Preoccupations now. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
Thanks for the heads up. I did not know this until yesterday. I gave the first Preoccupations album a listen already and it seems decent. Will have to see what subsequent listens leave me feeling. Also intrigued by the band Women. I enjoyed one of their albums yesterday. I don’t know what I would do without YouTube and Spotify!
