Back to Back, Part II

Double duty is always fun, especially on days where I just feel like listening to records.  That day is TODAY and this is my sixty-second pick.

Artist - The Kinks
Album - Kinks Greatest Hits
Released - 1966
Label - Reprise
Genre - Rock


Tracks:
Side One
A Well Respected Man
Where Have All The Good Times Gone
Till The End of The Day

Side Two
All Day and All of the Night
I Gotta Move
Lola
Wait Till the Summer Comes Along
You Really Got Me

This is the first compilation album released in the US by The Kinks, who are a British rock group.  Do you think it's fair to name your favorite songs on a Greatest Hits album since the whole meaning of a Greatest Hits album is to list ALL THE HITS?  Well I definitely love A Well Respected Man, Tired of Waiting For You, All Day and All of the Night and Lola.  Great songs by a great group of guys and not to just mention this Greatest Hits album, their other records are pretty outstanding, to say the least.  A group that started in 1964, they were categorized in the whole British Invasion genre along with the other greats, like The Beatles and the other notable British rock/pop groups.  It amazes me how today, most of these songs are in movies, such as Well Respected Man which is featured in Juno.  I do appreciate great music composers that are in charge of putting music in movies to not just stay with that is out today, but to dig deep for a good song from back when I wasn't even alive.

Enjoy!
