This song reflects perfectly the deejays, music, and programming of my hometown radio station in the 1970s and 1980s. WTCS AM 1490 in Fairmont, West Virginia was a unique gem among other radio stations in the Ohio Valley. Those were great times!
I've seen Pink Floyd, Van Halen, U2, Elton John, and in a small club Jorma Kaukonen (epic!!!). But I did see the Kinks in Montreal and upstate New York. Fucking glorious!!!!.
Yes, probably the Ramones and even the Sex Pistols were influenced by the Kinks. Do you also hear the bit of Beach Boys? I always hated them and doo wop until I realized I was hearing echoes of them in some Ramones songs!😊
This same band also did Waterloo Sunset; masters of range.
These guys understand exactly what Rock and Roll is.
I love the Dial adjusting in this song.
Was just thinking about how amazing this band is earlier today. Top 5 favorite bands of all time❤
Absolutely
Totally!
Yes indeed I knew that back in 1964!
I love this song

Unique royalty loyalty and cut music.
FM/AM where are you ?
Why wasn't this a MASSIVE HIT?
Criticize Corporate Radio...
Equals... Not Allowed...
No " Massive " Hit 4U
It was. Just not for long enough. Saw them open a show with this song in ‘88, cant forget those opening power chords.
Awesome@@jeffjones358!

Tremendous!!!!!

Redbeard is the last of the classic DJS standing and he must be protected at all costs.
Hearing this song for some reason makes me think of Jim Ladd RIP Lord Have Mercy WHOOYA!!!
I know he's a DJ.....is it because that's how you discovered the band?
❤
....anyone else hear the elements of Punk Rock in this?
Sounds like The Ramones to me.

I heard this right after Vin Scelsa disappeared from WNEW. That was a loss,
& Scottso, Pete, Dave
I always thought there was a connection.
Around that time Tom Morrea was a puddle of goo....
🤩🤩👍🍻🍷✌️
Just Jim did right?
Still apropos in 2024.
