3. Huh? No "Come Dancing?"

[NightTrain]

5. Sorry....

As usual, I ran out of space!

Perhaps I should have a word with the Admins about this....

[JanMichael]

8. I'll second that! The Kinks are my one of my favs.

Plus they had the good sense to slow down, unlike some other money whore bands...

6. Ditto. And seek out the sequel, "In Paradise" by John Wesley Harding

from JWH's New Deal ...for the forgotten man http://www.wesweb.net/index.html

10. You're absolutely right! It is "the most beautiful pop song ever written".

You know, the weird thing? I always remember it in my head as having this beautiful, lush production. Then I will hear the recording and am ALWAYS shocked at how tinny, thin and cheap the actual production is. Shel Talmy was a pretty horrible producer, but he could not ruin this beautiful song.

[FlashHarry]

13. Yeah. The guitar is all treble.

It just goes to show, a good song is a good song, production aside. (e.g. you can't make a purse out of a sow's ear.)

Although, I must say, I couldn't imagine it any other way. It's quite endearing.

7. Celluloid Heroes and Muswell Hillbilly Boy....

are favorites but I voted for LalalalaLola....

on edit forgot about "She Bought a hat like Princess Marina" and "Yes Sir/No Sir" and the whole rock opera with "The New Centurions" on it...
