| The Kinks were an influential and prolific English rock group, formed in the mid-1960s by Ray Davies and his brother Dave Davies. They first gained prominence in 1964 with their hit single "You Really Got Me" and continued to record and perform for over thirty years. The band's name came from their "kinky" dress sense. The Kinks influence on emerging artists has been a constant. During the Punk rock and New Wave era The Jam and The Pretenders both covered Kinks songs and Britpop acts such as Blur, Oasis and Supergrass have cited them as a major influence. |
