The Kinks were an English rock band formed in London in 1963 by brothers Ray and Dave Davies. They are regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s. The Kinks' music drew from a wide range of influences, including American R&B and rock and roll initially and later adopting British music hall, folk, and country. The band gained a reputation for reflecting English culture and lifestyle, fuelled by Ray Davies' wittily observational writing style. The Kinks and the songs of Ray Davies are now rightfully established as a great British institution. From the opening riff of You Really Got Me, The Kinks’ influence as pioneers in heavy metal, power pop, conceptual albums, and theatrical shows can be detected in much modern music.
This, and much more, can be seen on this RU-vid channel exclusively devoted to these true British originals.

@joemancusi1516 6 месяцев назад

I often tell the younger people that the Kinks are one of the best bands they've never heard of. Then I start listing their songs which they then can recognize because they've been covered more recently by other bands. The Kinks also deserve special recognition for their longevity as well. Anyway this particular song is so Beatlesque, I could be confused if I didn't know it was the Kinks.

I was a Sr. in high school. Blasting down the interstate at 4:30 in the morning after all night bowling with some friends. This song came on and I got lost in it. I stopped at a pay phone and called the radio station to find out the name and who sang because I was afraid I'd never hear it again. Took forever to find it in the record shops but I finally did . Loved it then, love it now. I'm 60 years old and that feeling still comes back to me. Great to be alive.

This song bottles up a fleeting moment of heavenly detachment from reality and suffering. Ray Davies, after jumping off a 12 ft wall at age 6 "trying to fly" was seriously injured and spent quite a long time in a Waterloo hospital where he purportedly had a near-death experience following a botched tracheotomy. His sister bought him a guitar at age 13, then she dies of a heart defect. Young Davies in his hospital room, likely spent many many hours gazing out of his window, which overlooked Waterloo and the river, a rather beautiful spot with many people ("swarming like flies"). When he wrote the song at age 23, I'm sure he drew from those moments when he felt relief from his suffering upon viewing a sunset, and from the times he felt isolated and disconnected from the world buzzing by his window.

@Lovely Monsters Correct. Original title was " Liverpool Sunset "

@fionawilson3287 4 года назад

@@grahambuckenham1597 You are right. If you look at Wikipedia Liverpool Sunset might have been a working title initially, but the song changes to one about London and his childhood experiences in and around Waterloo. ' The song derives from the period 1965-73 when Ray Davies lived at 87 Fortis Green, the semi-detached suburban home where almost all his songs were written at this period. "I didn't think to make it about Waterloo, initially", Davies said in a 2010 interview, "but I realised the place was so very significant in my life. I was in St Thomas' Hospital when I was really ill [when he had a tracheotomy aged 13] and the nurses would wheel me out on the balcony to look at the river. It was also about being taken down to the 1951 Festival of Britain. It's about the two characters - and the aspirations of my sisters' generation who grew up during the Second World War. It's about the world I wanted them to have. That, and then walking by the Thames with my first wife and all the dreams that we had." '

They aren't just evoking an emotion of anger or happiness, etc. They are painting a picture I could see myself in. They give me a sense of nostalgia for things I've never even experienced. Tell me exactly how they do this so well! I don't think any artists really have the same capability to create a scene the listener can just feel. It's definitely haunting.

My best friend in the 60s at school raved about the kinks.I was more mainstream, didn't get them, preferring the Beatles+ Stones .As I've become older+my musical tastes have matured how keyed in he truly was.A truly great band. And for me personally, Waterloo Sunset has to be up there as the finest Pop song of the 60s.Absolutely brilliant.I find myself returning to it again and again.

"Underrated"?? The Kinks were one of the most influential groups to come out of the 60's British Invasion. The group was also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame within the first decade of the Hall's existence back in 1990. The Kinks aren't underrated or undervalued at all, rather they hold a very prominent place in the history of Rock & Roll. Long live The Kinks!!

I am in my 30s and Czech, and I haven't heard of this song before Spotify threw it into my automatic playlist, and haven't heard of the Kinks before Spotify threw in Lola. It was such a great discovery, but even though my father was somewhat obsessed with Beatles in the past, so you would think I could share this with at least him, I don't feel I can. So I confess here, I really love this song.

At the end of 2019 when visiting the U.K. One of my main things to do was to see a 'Waterloo Sunset' . It was then, I knew exactly what this wonderful band was singing about. I know there were many great British bands of the 1960's but to me ,The Kinks were one of the very best who stayed so true to their roots (no matter how much they traveled & how famous they were they never ever forgot where they started from) . I feel they were not given enough Air Play for all their talent ... Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)

What a stupid comment, all of the British Invasion bands were influenced by American music and played their own brand of Rock n Roll; an invention and evolution of American Blues music. Tell me how The Kinks were more British than The Zombies, The Yardbirds or The Stones. If anything bands like Pink Floyd were more British than anything the Kinks ever did.

@wilhelmtauber836 5 лет назад

A wonderful and haunting song that I first heard as an English schoolboy in 1967, and liked it from the start. This Kinks poetry is very evocative for the English, and their ban from American mainstream music is totally England's gain. Long live Ray Davies!

@cubsdude7460 4 года назад

While other British bands were touring America and writing about their American experience which being American, I already knew about, The Kinks stayed home, due to their being banned, and wrote about their English experience. That is when I really embraced them and it cemented them as my favorite band. I felt I was learning something about English life written in a way I hadn't heard before. I mean, I liked them from You Really Got Me, but now I liked them on a different level. You had to work at getting their music because they weren't promoted like other touring British bands. English friends in America that I've met over the years have said the Kinks are the quintessential British band. Sounds like you are saying the same thing.

@adolforodolfo6929 3 года назад

@Gary Snow With all due respect, you don't know what you're talking about. The Kinks were banned from performing in America from 1965 through 1969, which corresponds to the period when they produced what most people consider their best songs. Financially, this was a bit of a disaster, but, as the OP says, artistically it was a huge gain because, freed from the constraints that come with the need to appeal to American audiences, the Kinks music both lyrically and stylistically became very English indeed.
