Ray Davies could have written this as a remembrance song for 2014.... 100 years since....

От седмия студиен албум на The Kinks - Arthur Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire! Невероятно добър само за онези, които имат слух за подобна музика. (:

I actually teared up to this song...

Peter Gerstenzang

As I read the comments it only confirms my POV. Kinks fans are smart and thoughtful. And Ray has written has more great songs than almost anybody.

One of the best anti-war songs.

The anti Beatles comments are very unfair, all these bands were brilliant, but the popular music business, found out quality didn't matter and shove out propaganda filled pulp. X factor generation.

Rodrigo Mesa

I always come back to the Kinks

I'm glad that some commenters here have fought back against the Sgt. Pepper shredding. it's simply counter-productive, and misguided. There's no place for it. This is fantastic. So was that. As for The Beatles, or The Rolling Stones for that matter, being unthreatening, ask yourself why they became targets for overbroad and overzealous prosecutions by the London police whom Lennon immortalized as the Blue Meanies, as well as being targeted by the lunatic Christian right in the United States.

Sgt. Pepper was an attempt to approach the genius of Pet Sounds and Smile! by the Beach Boys. It failed. The Beatles are sadly very overrated in a world where there were the Stones, the Beach Boys, the Kinks, the Who, the Jefferson Airplane... all who were better bands. But the world will always continue to worship safe "boy bands" like the beatles. They never threatened anyone with their message, so they were lauded. A band even the parents and the Pop marketing executives could love.

Great song. Extremely important to have a conscience.

This is one of the most powerful and poignant antiwar songs ever written. Long live the Kinks.

i fucking love the transition in ray davies voice at 2:03

dude, sgt pepper was an excellent experimental unique album even back then in those standards, and especially in todays standards, there isnt one album sounding like that back then or nowadays, its a one of a kind album, the sound was ahead of that era, but is associated with that time period because of how fucking huge that album was and how popular the beatles were. both "Arthur" and "Sgt Pepper" are fucking magnificent albums in their right regardless of the era though.

I can explain to you why this might seem timeless while Sgt. Pepper might not. This song is a fairly simple arrangement, and has no major indicators of the era in which it was written. Sgt. Pepper features a huge arrangement that probably took a little more time to piece together. It also has a lot of brass which is uncommon by today's standards. If you call Sgt. Pepper dated, to me that simply means it's of a bygone era and couldn't have been created today. Both songs are fantastic, regardless.

You should spend a day listening to Rubber Soul and the White Album. Give yourself the pleasure of listening to the Beatles without anybody else's opinions floating in your head. Pretend you are listening to them for the first time and don't let past thoughts seep in. Close your eyes; give yourself a break. And you will never stop loving the Kinks. People will always compare those 50's-70's Brit bands. It's in the blood.

Should be played at the end of every shift at the Pentagon.
