The Kinks - Face To Face

Something Else By The Kinks
The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Deluxe Edition
The Monkees - Headquarters
The Monkees - More Of The Monkees
The Monkees - Capricorn, Pisces, Aquarius and Jones
The Beatles - Help
The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
The Beatles - Rubber Soul

Oh....that's 12 albums. 8)

I love the order in this list. The Monkees are very underrated, while The Beatles get too much praise. I love both bands, but I hate when people do not really care about a band (i.e. its members) and say, "They are great". And they may know nothing but a few songs. My real problem is the underlying assumption that The Beatles are better than anyone else and I never think of bands that way.


I also appreciate the Echo and the Bunnymen-ness in Bun's list. ^^

Revolver is a great album.
