Nice to meet you, Ovi! Thanks for pulling up a chair. Tell us about your Kinks history -- did you ever see the band perform live? Have you seen Ray on one of his recent tours? Which are your favorite albums?
My fave album is Muswell Hillbillies, I first saw the Kinks in 1976, and I see Ray whenever he's in the New York area!

Thank you both for the warming welcomes.
Unfortunately, my history with The Kinks is not a very interesting or long-term one. I've been familiar with them for only about half a year. I purchased 'Village Green Preservation Society' sometime in late September and it was truly a life changing moment. I couldn't stop listening to it for about a month. Then I got more and more albums, namely : 'Face To Face', 'Something Else', 'Arthur', 'Lola', 'Muswell Hillbillies', 'Preservation Act 2', 'Schoolboys In Disgrace' and 'Everybody's In Show Biz', and well, here I am.
I'm willing to explore the Kinks world more and I'll try to get familiar with their other work in short time. So, I'm a newbie I guess. I signed here mainly to read opinions about their other albums, which I've yet to hear and also to learn more about the band.
I've never seen them live but I wish I'd see Ray once.
About my favourite album, it's a tie between 'Village Green Preservation Society', 'Arthur' and 'Muswell Hillbillies'. Though very different, I consider each of those to be all-time classics and albums which I could probably listen forever to.

No worries about being a relatively new fan Ovi - hopefully you'll learn more from this board! Good choice for your favourite albums! - Mine favourite is VGPS I see you already have a fair few albums from the 60s and 70s, the Kinks also put out some great albums in the 80s and 90s such as State of Confusion, Word of Mouth, Phobia...to name a few! Maybe you've heard the 1983 hit Come Dancing? It's sure going to be a busy year for Ray, his Come Dancing musical is on early next month, and he's also going to be touring the USA and UK so hopefully he'll be playing a venue near you! By the way, may I ask where you are from?

I am indeed familiar with 'Come Dancing'. Good song.
I'm from Romania, Europe. It's not that far from UK, but I have no plans for now.

Oh, I don't think we have any Romanian members Ovi - I have to say that your English is very good! Have you had a look at Dave Emlen's Kindakinks site yet? It always has up to date info and there are many interesting articles over there, as well as interviews and photos etc. It's a must for any Kinks fan, I find myself checking it out daily!

Hello Ovi! Its a pleasure to meet you! last night I was listening to Lola vs powerman, but my favorite Kinks album is Face to face followed by Something Else.
And recently Ive been listening to Phobia again, as a new thread was opened under "The Kinks"
Anyway, jump on in and have fun!
I first saw The Kinks in 1969.

No worries about being a "newbie," Ovi -- some of the best Kinks fans I know are recent converts!
