Hello, fellow Kinks kultists. I'm new to the board and thought I'd start a thread about underrated Kinks tracks. I just posted a list of 21 personal choices (and an alternate list of 21 more) at my site Psychobabble, along with a little commentary about each song. You can read it here: psychobabble200.blogspot.com/2012/01/21-underrated-songs-by-kinks-you-need.htmlSo, what are your personal underrated favorites? My criteria is that they cannot have been single A-sides and they cannot have appeared on a major "greatest hits" compilation.

To me ¨Sitting In My Hotel¨ is THE most underrated.

Oh yeah, "Sitting in My Hotel" is a great one too. Lovely trumpet figure on that song. Love "Sitting By the Riverside" too and "Did You See His Name", although that was on 'The Kink Kronikles', which was a fairly major compilation (although it was included on there for its rarity rather than any kind of "hit" status).
