the most underated and talented band of all time. one of many great tunes most people have never heard put out by this group. i've looked for misfits for years and couldn't find it anywhere after owning it when it first came out. thank you from the bottom of my heart.
"There's a guy on my block. He lives for rock". Great song about obsession, in this case , rock n roll, and the music is great of course. The Kinks are in my top Ten bands of all time
I agree this was the best songs the Kinks did. It brings back may memories. I can not believe It is not on their Greatest Hits or Ultimate Collection Album.
The KinKs are the ONLY band who have Konsistently put out songs over their entire Kareer ( in their kase 50 years) that I totally identify with and whose songs define me who I am as a person - need I say more?
Still as relevant today as 50 years ago, Ray and Dave are among the greatest lyricists the UK has ever produced. Incredible band that deserve the accolades the Beatles got.
John Stark I agree 100%. This band is my favorite British invasion band. I seen them in 1980 in Seattle doing their Low Budget Album. There are many videos here of that tour. Not seattle but the other stops. I just love this band.
This is the story of MY LIFE!! MrGuitarjones- your comment brought tears to my eyes, extremely well said! And may I add, the rest the world should celerbate just the same.
I love this song. I had to throw away the first song I ever wrote because I realized it was too much like it. Someday, hopefully far into the future, I will find out that Ray or Dave paassed on and I will lock myself in a room with a bottle of Whiskey and all my old Kinks records and I will spend the whole day celebrating / lamenting their life and passing. Their music is very personal to me, I feel like they are my friends. They speak to me. Long live The Kinks !
One of the greatest rock songs by one of the greatest rock bands. These guys were so underated. But they were wild.I think I was already living in a R&R fantasy before they released this osng in the 70s. This song just defined it for me! What a great talent these guys were.The Davies brothers were awsome
From someone who came of age during these times it confirms something I felt way back then. That my generations music would have legs. And the comments from young people make me smile. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much Margo !!! I love the kinks !!!! Saw them live a few years ago !!! This song is one of the many I really like !!!! Thank you again my friend !!!!
Great post!!! The Kinks is one of my all time favorite bands!!! I actually got to meet Ray Davies back in 1989 in LA.... So sad there are no new bands out there as good....
I love the Kinks too.They are part of my youngster time.And i loved that song "God save the Village Green,preservation society..."Great times!Thanks for sharing,Margo.Thanks Pensy for the good job. Much love,Joao Galante.
Thank you so much for the nice comment on my video !!! I love the misfit album also !!! Its a small world !!!! Got the picture of Whiskey GoGo on photobucket !!! Merry Christmas to U & your family !!!
@ pensygirl154. You have excellent taste in music.I think there are so many people who can relate to this song. Especially those of who lived through the experience of the great music of this era.I think a little bit of me is still living in the fantasy.I still have my Kinks records. Thanks for posting it! Rock ON!!
wow dude i feel the same. This is my favorite British Invasion Band. Dont get me wrong the Beatles, Stones and Who were not to bad either. But this one is my favorite with this song being my favorite. It is in my top ten of MY favorites. I have been looking for years for a live version but i have not found one. I dont think they did this song live. I cant believe that though. One would think that back in 78 when they were promoting this album they would have played it live at a concert.
the Kinks are one of greatest rock bands ever

Music is medicine. Ray Davies is one of the greatest musicians/songwriters ever.
I love this song...so underr rated...beautiful!!

One of the unheralded Kinks Classics.

Frank Lima I can relate, Frank.

Frank Lima best song writer ever!!!!

"the king is dead rock is done" love that line

thank you 4 a great song & slide show god bless Pete & the Davies kinks forever!!!!!
one of the best songs EVER
Was he referring to Elvis when he said "the king is dead"? Cause Elvis had died only a year before this album came out I believe.
*One of me all-time favorite songs... LOVE to perform it any chance I get*
