watched quadraphenia the other night and you really got me was featured in it as well as who tracks,ive always loved the kinks thought they were underated really.

It's The Who for me, but only with Keith Moon as, in my opinion, he was VITAL to the band. Funnily enough I've just started a new topic with a Who reference! I should be working....

Waterloo Sunset is the finest pop song ever written....imho ....and Ray Davies is a genius...only Lennon/MacCartney, Jagger/Richard, Bowie and Dylan can claim to be more talneted.

Hard to choose, but I reckon The Kinks just have the edge cos of the depth of their work, The Who's catologue is great but they're over-rated slightly as an album act.
Both superb between 64 & 75, patchy since then.

RetroDon is correct, its a close call..........both piss on The Beatles IMO.
Ray Davies is a GREAT songwriter, as is Townshend. I have both Greatest Hits and for me, The Who edge it.......just

im not a big expert on either, but i would said that The Who were more about originality, brilliant personalities and musicianship than about tracks like My Generation
The Kinks however lacked that but had genius pop songwriting, and a shit load of tracks of that level....and ive never sat and listened to their albums but i know looooads of songs

Check out 'Who's Next' if you ever get the chance. An epic!

From the intro to Baba O'Riley, you're hooked. A classic album.

ray also wrote for other bands,and did lots of film soundtracks too.
