I'm not thrill to go back to the fase "60's pop-rock british bands" I was just fine with punk-rockabilly meaningless, but when you feel you have to, it's not worth to fight against it.
No. 95 in Eyeballkid's Top 100 Songs of All Time. Read more at http://bit.ly/GB8bKA.
My first favourite band were undoubtedly The Kinks. I still love their stuff and I've always been a Ray Davies fan. In 1973, with money made from sales of 'Lola' and earlier stuff, Ray and Dave Davies opened a new studio of their own in Crouch End, a mile down the road from their home territory of Muswell Hill. They recorded most of their stuff there right up until 1996 when they finally disbanded. Many groups have recorded there, including: The Stone Roses, The Kooks, Blur, Elvis Costello, Steve Winwood, and The Bee Gees. I believe The Animals may have done too. The Fall recently recorded there too. It was at one time to be sold and re-developed, but Ray apparently, still hasn't decided what to do with the place. It's called Konk, and is an interesting place. http://www.konkstudios.com/. Hope you like it. #OddClassics I could have made the video myself!!!

I feel I've been neglecting the 60s with my jams, so I'm making up for it with this sharp antidote to the notion that all was 'swinging' back then
