The Kinks are another one of those bands that I’ve known about for a long time, but I really didn’t know any of their catalog beyond “You Really Got Me” until I started working at my current job. Through the work, however, I became much more familiar with their tunes, particularly the stuff off of their albums from the late-’60s. The more of those records I heard, the bigger fan I became. When I finally heard the first of today’s songs, it really sealed the deal for me.
