Who's the Best British Rock Band? (Besides Beatles & The Rolling Stones)

Описание: #TheWho #TheKinks #1960smusic

The Beatles and the Rolling Stones are the undisputed giants of the British Invasion, but who’s third? Is it the Animals, Yardbirds, or the Dave Clark Five? Not quite. And bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd came later. The real contenders are The Who and The Kinks.

In this episode of Robert’s Record Corner, we dive deep into both legendary bands, comparing their hits, styles, and influence during the British Invasion (1964-1966). We also look at their landmark albums from 1969: The Who’s Tommy and The Kinks’ Arthur.

The Who gave us the anthems that defined classic rock radio, while The Kinks captured the essence of everyday life with a uniquely English touch. Which band had the greater impact?

And the answer ultimately for me is clear.

Tune in to explore their contributions, their rivalry, and their lasting legacy in rock music history!

(Note: I am aware that if I pick the Kinks, Who fans will be particularly upset. And if I pick the Who, Kinks' fans will shrug it off. They're used to snubs. Which I find endearing.)
