Ray Davies-genius!

Picking a best Kinks song was tough.

I was hoping it was "Sunny Afternoon." One of my favorite selections (along with your CCR pick).

if i ever relax the unwritten rule against more than one song from any artist, here's the list of Kinks songs that could make it:

You Really got Me
All Day
Tired of Waiting
Stop Your Sobbing
Dedicated Follower of Fashion
Sunny Afternoon
Well Respected Man
Days
Victoria
Lola
Celluloid Heroes

you may have other picks. outside of the Beatles, i think, the Kinks made more really great music than any other band from the 60s. And they did it for a really long time, too.

Anything on VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY stands up to the Beatles all day long.

"People Take Pictures Of Each Other" can be a blogger anthem:

The funny thing is, the Kinks have always been considered a "singles" band, like the Who. In England, that is.

Speaking of Who singles, check out the used section in OffBeat for a bunch of CD reissues of classic Who singles with the original B-sides. Stuff like I Can See For Miles and Pictures of Lily (soon to be a BSE in its own right), and i don't think any of the B-sides are on Meaty, Beaty, for instance.
