British band from the 1960s-70s era considered underrated relative to contemporaries like The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, and Led Zeppelin, featured in The Sopranos
"His favourite bands are the XTC and the Kinks, the common denominator of which is the earnest celebration of an idealised and even twee conception of Merry Old England."
"To me the most underrated British band of the era relatively, you hear people mention the beatles, the stones, the who, zeppelin etc but never the kinks. So much variation in their sound over the course of their career and of course were played for the strippers at the Ba Da Bing"
"I've been listening to this a lot recently – sometimes more than a few times a day. I don't know if I would deem it my favourite album by The Kinks but its themes and sounds have definitely been resonating with me."
