id say its beatles, stones, kinks, yardbirds, who - no particular order but i think the yardbirds and kinks are left out. ray and dave davies, jeff beck, jimmy page, eric clapton are all top tier.

Wow, I never heard this. I liked it immediately. Sill original - fascinating. I was never a big Kinks fan - but that may be because I have been exposed to the wrong stuff. I will have to explore further - the same way I did when I discovered The Beatles were MUCH more than just "I Want to Hold Your Hand"

JUST found out about this song, having looked up Rubber Sould (album, Beatles) in Wikipedia. This was recorded not later than July 1965, so it's some months AHEAD of Rubber Soul !

Agree that the Kinks are way underrated. This song did inspire the Beatles with the eastern sounds of India. The Kinks are definately the in the top four of British Bands along with the Beatles, Stones, and the Who.

@SpaceBambino Well, I did NOT listen to any of their later stuff in depth. I have a double CD best of, and the second disc is all post 60s, and I didn't find a single song on that one that I found memorable. Compare any Beatles CD to any (early) Kinks CD. Listen to the sound. Which band sounds as if recorded in a garage? See?!

Excellent DJ! The Kinks are excactly that - a garage band, especially when compared to the grand production of the Beatles. Some people like them better for that reason, so why deny it?!

I'm just writing a paper on "Norwegian Wood" and I'm discussing if The Beatles -and more particularly George- were quickly drawn to Indian sounds thanks to bands like The Kinks and The Yardbirds. Check out " Heart Full of Soul", that although doesn't use a sitar, they did try to imitate the sound with Jeff Beck's crazy licks ;-) The Beatles DID use the sitar for the first time in a pop record, however. This song uses a indian drone.

@ fromthenorthwest: It is some 4 months before the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood". Seems the first rock piece influenced by Indian music...

SirStriebGriebling

Garage band isn't an insult, there's loads of superb garage bands. Probably isn't an apt description for The Kinks, though.

fromthenorthwest

what year is this? is it before the Beatles "Rubber Soul" with Norweigan Wood?

ShakaCthulu

Most underrated band ever. I had to walk away when some faggot DJ here kept going on and on about The Beatles and called The Kinks a "garage band".

fromthenorthwest

well put! i couldn't have said better myself

JoeyTheFatKid

they were miles ahead of the Beatles with this. only next year did the Beatles start going in this cosmic direction.

No question about it. Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who are the "Ivy League" of the 1st wave of British bands--with staying power.

cartoonimal

they were actually influenced by the traditional music of India when they stopped there.

Michelle Ploughman

love this song, reminds me of kyle gallner in veronica mars lol
