Great moments in (somewhat) obscure rock ‘n’ roll: The Kinks, “You Can’t Stop the Music,” 1975

The Kinks are certainly not an obscure band, but the 1975 album Soap Opera didn't do very well in the U.S. or the U.K., and is hardly one of their better-known efforts.  The album also includes one of my all-time favorite songs by The Kinks (which also didn't do very well as a single, surprisingly I think):

Feel free to add links to other lesser-known and under-appreciated numbers by The Kinks.

  1. No real theme here – simply three lesser-known songs that are personal favorites.

    1. She's Got Everything from 1966 – lovely lead guitar.

    2. See my Friends from 1965 –

    3. Finally, not many share my enthusiasm for 1975's Schoolboys in Disgrace, but I'm a fan and think Jack the Idiot Dunce is the best track on the album.

  2. Robert McGarvey

    Kinks always a favorite but maybe my favorite of theirs is Ray Davies' "London Song," around 2008

  3. "Life On The Road," from 1976's Sleepwalker always hits the spot. Here's a live version on OGWT from '77.
