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.

The Darjeeling Limited is probably one of the best movies ever and the ending is awesome with this song playing in the background

[runt]

I didn’t know it was possible for an entire album to be this perfect

[colefritts]

I think The Kinks are a seriously underrated band.

[tommymeyer]

Anyone who doesn't think The Kinks can jam the hell out needs to listen to this beauty

[Archlyte-Kade]

The groove in this song is unbelievable.

[gabbygabs]

I'm glad I watched The Darjeeling Limited. Not only it was a great film, but it also introduced me to The Kinks and their actually interesting songs. Especially this one.

A great and underrated song, in a great and underrated film.

[iconicshrubbery]

The coolest, tightest, most accoustic, most ironic, riff-driven rock song ever.

[mcgubbin]

What a fucking great intro!, what a great fucking album cover, what a great fucking song, what a great fucking band

[rashidabegum]

The Pianist introduced me to Adrien Brody. He introduced me to The Darjeeling Limited. And the movie bought me here.

Last 10 years lve really come to understand how great the kinks are.l knew most of their popular stuff but its gems like this that are the gold.Never too late to learn though.

[evilgary]

Powerman sounds like the name of a Public Domain superhero.

[billcochran]

A very strenuous song to play on the bass I can tell you.

[justmusic]

omg love Dave's vocal part on this so much

[checkyourhead]

Found this 50 yr old album on vinyl at B&N on my 50th yr today as my doc tells me i do not have lung lesions. Party.

[donaldkearns]

Everything you could want in a rock song, well crafted and executed to a tee.

[raydavies]

thank god wes anderson is bringing the kinks to the ignorant. thats my mission in life, turning everyone on to the kinks.

[mrkimberley]

I'm 51 yr's old but when I was between 11 and 15 yrs old I got into the the Kinks, The Jam etc , even a re-invented 80's MOD before becoming a delinquent lol into Punk 80s Rock then Contemporary POP, BRIT POP the Beatles etc and everything but full circle now and yes The Davies Bro's are Legends and so underrated for what they've done.

[marcosoares]

Ah ... There's millions of mighty Powermen out there, all over the world, all sitting in their (sometimes self made) thrones, telling people what to do and amassing more and more money and power ... 💰
WE pity them, for, with all their power, they lost the capacity to REALLY feel the good things in the world 🌐.
They can buy and sell 💲nearly anything on Earth, but can't buy PEACE OF MIND .
Neither real love nor joy .
This is a GREAT SONG 🎼 and should be spread all through this God's little pretty planet 🌎 ! Thanks, Kinks ! 😉

[thomcatt]

My favorite album of all time! Cheers to the Kinks!

Basically broke and homeless I bought this CD. Last real purchase I made in 1996 before I went into the military. I don't regret it.
