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 YouTube channel exclusively devoted to these true British originals.

It’s utterly baffling how relevant this song feels right now

[Frankmt]

“I don’t feel safe in this world no more,
I don’t wanna die in a nuclear war,
I wanna sail away to a distant shore…
and make like an ape man!”

Talk about timeless, how I feel these words more today than ever!

[janicesmith]

I’ll be your Tarzan, you’ll be my Jane
I’ll keep you warm, you’ll keep me sane.
That’s beautiful. 🥰

Everyone discovers "The kinks" at some point of their life and feel good about it.

My favorite man in the entire world loved this band, and acted like a crazy man everytime he played this in his car, while I laughed hysterically.. forever planted in my heart. will forever love this band. RIP dad.

These guys don't get the recognition they more than deserve

[MerkinMuffly]

Of all the British Invasion bands the Kinks were the most British and stayed true to their roots unlike most of the other bands. It may have hurt their popularity in the US but not to this guy.

[toxicwhitemale]

Most under-rated song the Kinks ever recorded.

[kevinphyland]

40 years or more onwards...and the lyrics seem even more relevant...a band totally ahead of their time. Kudos.

[bluesriot]

if this came out yesterday, it'd be more on point than 99% of what's happening musically today, it's still completely relevant

[raydargis]

The Kinks are one of the greatest bands ever to come out of the U.K

[EJT]

Not once in my life have I ever heard this played on a radio station. Most underrated album I can think of.

[colleengoodman]

They must have been psychic. This song is more relevant today. As a child I always loved it.

[CockneyRebel]

"I don't feel safe in this world no more!
"- never have I related so bloody strongly to a song-lyric!

[Ciclopea]

Can't believe it's from 1970, sounds so fresh

[hararmbe]

Hands down the best lyrics on a song EVER.

[leeann]

My husband passed away Oct. 6th, 2023 and The Kinks was his all time favorite band. As our daughter and myself watched the Old Dads movie the ending song was Apeman. He turned 41 the year she was born. But I looked at her and said I think your dad is trying to tell us something, he's ok and trying to let us know that.

[barbaragottlock]

Brilliant! Ray Davies was (is) one of rock's greatest songwriters ever.

[brandonmolenaar]

In retrospect. I think The Kinks might just be the most underrated band of all time.

[lilmissrockchick]

There is something I've always loved about the Kinks, their songs tell a story
