Conversation so far:
What was the Kinks' musical style?
The Kinks started out playing the then popular R&B and blues styles; then developed louder rock and hard rock sounds — often labelled as the original punks.“
What was the Kinks' favorite style to perform
Dave Davies was really bored with this guitar sound – or lack of an interesting sound so he purchased a little green amplifier ... an Elpico and twiddled around with it.“
What did Dave Davies' green amplifier do?
The amplifier's jagged sound was replicated in the studio; the Elpico was plugged into the Vox AC30, and the resulting effect became a mainstay in The Kinks' early recordings
Are there any other interesting aspects about the Kinks' musical style besides modifying an Elpico to create a completely new and unique sound?
When many other British bands dismissed their heritage in favor of American blues, R&B, and pop styles, the Kinks became known for their adherence to traditional English music and culture
Did the Kinks have any influences?
The Kinks' allegiance to English styles was strengthened by the ban placed on them by the American Federation of Musicians, cutting the Kinks off from the American record buying public.
