"Days" is among my top ten and i'm happy to see it with the fifth highest vote total. Also a little surprised; I did not realize it was that widely appreciated.

The Kinks have such a diverse and interesting back-catalogue. I totally agree with the top 40-50. Cool list

This is fantastic. I adore the Kinks. I even see some of my favorite songs among the least of these.
