That's the peak for me, though the early singles are remarkable.

I'm embarrassed by saying there are 50 songs I can think of that matter, because there are probably 50+ more I can't remember that matter as well. {2] Yeah…that one too.

These songs, conjured from the traditions of the British Music Hall, Gilbert and Sullivan, filtered through US country crooners, blues, and R&B. Stirred with wit as dry as a popsicle stick on the tongue. Ray Davies is an equal opportunity critic, from "Well Respected Man" to a "Dedicated Follower of Fashion". So many songs, so many gems, I can think of probably 50 of them that matter. What a genius. And who doesn't get that tingly, heady feeling every time they hear "Waterloo Sunset"?
