Muswell Hillbillies was a great album. On 20th Century Man Dave gets to rock.

[Lurker]

A truly great band.

Early Kinks! Well Respected Man and Dedicated Follower of Fashion. Lola was good too.

Lifelong Kinks fan. Knew You Really Got Me and All Day All of the Night as a young kid but the game changer was this album (Muswell Hillbillies). Never looked back (and yes Kinks reference intenional).

Muswell Hillbillies was a great concept, great writing, but the way the record “sounds” - it has this gritty yet melodic sound that I just love.

The concept is multilayered. It’s a play on the Beverly Hillbillies. It’s a British take on American C & W but not a literal take. It’s autobiographical. And it’s anti urban renewal. And it’s populated by all these special Rau Davies characters.

Thanks to The Sopranos, I discovered this Kinks Gem...

Saw them live in 1980. Rowdiest concert I have ever attended. Robert Palmer opened. Was the 1st time I saw punk rockers in person.

Ray Davies knew, way back then

You had me sucked in.

I thought it was 20th century man.

[The Right Edge]

never got it.

I remember buying the album Low Budget when I was about twelve. I loved that album and probably still remember all the words to the songs. Lets just say my album collection was not very diverse at that point in my life.
