I don't know how long is the list of things that we have in common, but the Kinks being the favorite band is at the top. I'm very happy that you made this available to your non-paying subscribers.
I shared this on my Facebook page, although I don't think that it will get much reaction. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
1. Though I liked much of Preservation Act 1, I'm like you, I found Act 2 almost unlistenable.
2; The Village Green period gave us many of the songs that ended up on The Great Lost Kinks Album, which is my favorite by those guys.
3. I liked Dave's contributions to TGLKA but I never listened to Decade; I was pretty much done with the Kinks after 1976 but now I kinda want to give it a spin.
VGPS will always prove the Kinks' worth as artists. It is a multi-layered plunge into emotion that is almost unparalleled. There is more than just nostalgia at play; also a feeling of displacement from the past and the present. And whether or not the past was rose-colored or gray-colored.
You and Dave painted a real picture, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot. Your passion for The Kinks is so clear, and I totally get how some bands just stick with you thru all the 'iterations' of their work.

TGLKA is the only LP I ever stole from my college radio station. No regrets!
There is so much about this band that is fascinating.
Truly!
