Punk, metal, chamber pop and Britpop are just a few of the genres they helped shape, and in some ways pioneered.\nI go through their history, their albums, make the case that they might have been more quietly influential than even the Rolling Stones, and argue that it\u2019s possible they\u2019re the biggest indie band in history.\nAre you a Kinks fan? Where do they fall for you in the British Invasion hierarchy? Do you think they deserve more recognition? Discuss dammit!\nBONUS VIDEO: Live acoustic versions of a Kinks song and an original\n\n~~~\n*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High"\n*mid roll music credit: The Drop - "Outerloper"\nLearn more about your ad choices.
