The Kinks: The Essential Album-By-Album Guide

THE KINK KONTROVERSY (1965)
Key Tracks: "Till The End of the Day," "Where Have All the Good Times Gone"
Quick Take: From 1965 to '69, for reasons that have never been made clear, the American Federation of Musicians succeeded in prohibiting the Kinks from touring the U.S. Perhaps that explains why Ray Davies turned his gaze inward, infusing his songs with British themes. Before shutting the garage door behind them for good, the Kinks tossed off "Till the End of the Day," one final bit of "You Really Got Me" magic.
