  2. Congratulations to Kyra. Lucky!

    I enjoyed them in the 80s too. They had decent MTV airtime.

  4. I grew up listening to a lot of 60s music - the Kinks were definitely a favourite. I think you make a very valid point: how can anyone not like them?

    I really like the Kinks a lot too. They had way more great songs than most people realise.

  15. That was a great song by the Kinks. Some music just has more staying power, especially if we identify with that particular song. Or if it reminds us of an event in our life (concert, music festival, etc.

    Thanks for the musical reminder. . .

  17. I didn't know that song was by "The Kinks"!

    My brother and I loved "My Little Run-Away" with the great organ solo. Can't remember the artist at this very moment.

  18. My mum introduced me to the Kinks ;)
