Kinks: 2 (maybe 3)
Stones: Who knows how many? dozens. you ever listen to little red rooster? love in vain? ruby tuesday? Sympathy for the devil? Brown Sugar?
The kinks had a few good tunes; for the most part, they basically sucked. They tried to copy the weirdness of the Beatles and they tanked. The beatles sucked anyway. Fuckin Stones rocked, good ol rhythm & blues. Bands like the kinks tried to be "Trippy" without understanding what "trippy" really was. The kinks were posers, they happened on a couple of decent hits anyway.
The Kinks, a second rate band trying to be the second coming of The Beatles, a band not worth the time to discuss.
Thing is, even back before your time, when the Kinks hit the market they were touted and recognized as a group to pick up where the Beatles left off. The beatles were "NEW!" Paul McCartney was a fuckin wimp. John lennon an asshole. The Kinks had none of that chemistry and No originality. They were just Whimpy Brit boys tryin to cash n on the so-called "British invasion."
I've got to believe that all your recent Musical threads are nothing but trolls, I have tried to resist. But if your recent trolls leave any indication as to your Musical leanings;
You don't know shit about good music.
