"Ultimate Collection" was my first exposure to the Kinks...and I bought the CD the day I started this thread...note the scanned picture from the booklet.rickboy88 wrote:Well, I ended up getting another Kinks CD set, and not "Picture Box". It is called "Kinks - the ultimate collection." It contains 44 songs on two CD's. Both seem to go in a chronological order.The older stuff is certainly great. Ray Davies really had a natural song writing talent.
Another neat thing for me was the frequent use of trombones (being a trombone player too) on more than a few of the songs.
An interesting follow-up comment from someone in Mojo Music Magazine is that there is another major 60's British Pop group around with all of the members still alive, and that would be the Hollies. I think the writer also noted that the Hollie's had more top 20 hits, but I'd need to go back and review.
