The Kinks get the least respect of the first wave of the British Invasion bands, which is a shame because they're better than at least two of them.  They're also an anomaly in that their creative peak was their mid-to-late career album work rather than their initial singles.  But their singles are nothing to sneeze at.  The Kinks rocked harder than any of their peers right out of the gate.

Of all the many sounds one can make with an electric guitar, the fuzzy sound heard on "All Day and All of the Night" is my very favorite.

It's been a while since we last posted audio of those songs which so generously offer us their sponsorship.  It's not that we're not appreciative; nothing could be further from the truth.  It's just....  we don't know.  We're lazy?  Yeah, that actually sounds about right: we're lazy.

So here's a few tracks for yinz.  And if anybody can recall what this site was called between "Made-Up Dreams" and "No More Workhorse Blues" maybe you could refresh our memory.

[UPDATE:  Jodi helpfully points out that the missing song in question was Whiskeytown's "Losering."  Many thanks; we are grateful.  We'll tell you what, though - we'll be spending some time over the next couple of weeks searching diligently for a song entitled "The Dork Bulletin."]
