Today, as part of my Album Project, I listened to 'The Kink Kontroversy' (1965). I first started listening to The Kinks because my Dad said that, like Blur, they wrote songs to tell stories. This is the first Kinks album that has story-telling songs on it, like 'The World Keeps Going Round' and 'I'm on an Island'. It's also the first Kinks album to have keyboards. The song you're most likely to recognise on it is 'Till the End of the Day'.

Album project update! (That needs a catchier name.) I have now listened to 'Kinda Kinks' (1965). There's no harmonica. No Beatles-esque harmonies. This is an album that sounds like The Kinks. Hooray! It's likely, however, that the only track you'd recognise is 'Tired of Waiting for You'. And also the cover of 'Dancing in the Street', which is a little messy compared to the rest of the album...
