Kinks Pick

Yesterday I posted a repost of my Kinks Kovers Kompilation. When I first posted it I was planning on posting this one, too. Something must have happened. So, years later here it is. Compare it to the Kovers version and also to any of the commercially available comps of theirs. It's a little different. Probably different from your favorites too. Something about this band. They are so good and yet so bad at the same time. Some of the best Rock ever written and also some of the most stupid songs ever. Some of both are on here, because I love the stupid ones as much if not more than the others. You tell me what your favorite Kinks song is.

Kinks Kovers Repost

Repost: This was fun to do. But also frustrating at the same time. I like the Kinks and originally was making a pick of my favorite Kinks songs. But I got to the frustrating part. The Kinks are great songwriters and sometimes great at recording. They are too British for me at times and my favorites are sometimes not anywhere near the top listened to songs by the Kinks. I compare them to the Who, but the Who were better in the studio. For instance, You Really Got Me. A great song. But Van Halen does it way better than the Kinks. In fact I like that song done better by 801 with Brian Eno. And Stop Your Sobbing. There is no doubt that the Pretenders do a much better version of the song. So that's not true for every song. But definitely a few. So I took some of my favorite covers of Kinks songs and put this together. Not an end all be all covers collection, just some of my favorites. Many versions of songs on this one. Some of my favorites: Shonen Knife, The Fall, Stranglers, The Jam, Nancy Sinatra, etc.
