The Kinks: One of the Most Underestimated Bands of All Time?

The story of rock and roll would be unrecognizable without the distortion and raw power of The Kinks. Emerging from the British Invasion alongside the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, the Davies brothers brought a dangerous, aggressive edge to the airwaves that changed music forever. From the primitive, heavy riffs of the mid-sixties to the sophisticated lyrical genius of Ray Davies, this documentary looks at the volatile chemistry that made the band legendary. The sibling rivalry between Ray and Dave Davies was both a creative engine and a destructive force, leading to a three-year ban from American soil during their prime. While other bands conquered the globe, the Kinks navigated a path of theatrical concept albums and internal strife before a late-seventies comeback rejuvenated their career for a new generation. This is a look at the hits, the fights, and the enduring legacy of a group that refused to fit the mold. Want to watch more pop culture documentaries? Click here: https://bit.ly/3bYuq2i #amplified
