When I listen to The Kinks I hear pop music, like as bad as anything Paul McCartney ever did....I mean Ray Davies is a good song writer, like in all the most stupid and cliche ways....I mean I feel like I'm listening to the 60's version of N'Sync...I just hate it, I hate thier stupid microphone effects on alot of songs too.....I mean it's just pop music and people take it seriously like it's high art....It's just the worst kind of pop music...I like 60's Pop Music, I like Hermans Hermits and The Monkees, I like the irony.....but the Kinks just rub me the wrong way....the Davies are very unique, they had very unique lyrics and song structure as far as rocknroll goes....and sometimes I'm refreshed to hear their songs on oldies radio....but it's not realy the type of unique I'm interested in or fascinated by, and in fact it's a big turn off for me......I'd just assume listen to the Bee Gees........I mean if you wanted some huge ontological explenation for why they suck you aint getting it.....It's a personal thing, like most matters of taste. And for now on, all my criticisms are going to be based on my own personal taste, and I don't feel any need to make anybody else understand, the world can listen and rever whatever crap they want too....always have and always will.
