The Kinks are always somehow overshadowed by The Who for the Holy trinity of British rock, but are way more deserving to sit beside the likes of The Beatles and The Stones, mostly due to their latter classic career which is definitely their most relevant, innovative and influential, they had a brilliant way mishmashing genres while still keeping true to their sound. I've always been torn between Something Else, Village Green and Arthur as my favourite Kinks record. Somehow Musswell Hillbillies gets swept under the rug, but let's face it, it's their last great album and is a strangely Brit version of 70's Americana that only The Kinks could have pulled off!
