The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, in 1964 by brothers Ray and Dave Davies. They are regarded as one of the most important and influential rock bands of the 1960s. While other rock giants (Beatles, Stones, Who, Pink Floyd) have stayed relevant, The Kinks have faded away from the public eye somewhat. With songs like "Lola", "A Well Respected Man", "Superman", "You Really Got Me" (the list goes on) I can't understand why they've been forgotten by most.
7 Steely Dan
Steely Dan is an American rock band founded by core members Walter Becker (guitars, bass, backing vocals) and Donald Fagen (keyboards, lead vocals) in 1972.
