Colton King

In what way?
Juan Ward
Who is that?
Camden Ortiz
the kinks were the first band to use distortion and fast rhythmic guitar. so ray davies basically made punk rock
Daniel Mitchell
Is this bait? It's common knowledge that The Kinks have had a massive influence on rock music. You Really Got Me was one of the first songs to heavily use distortion. With that one song they paved the way for most forms of punk/alternative rock.
Jordan Sanchez
What did it do that Rumble didn't do first?
Parker Scott
You aren't making any Goddamn sense. Ray was an innovator who looked forward. The first lewronggenerationer would be a nostalgic artist who copied all artists instead of doing something new.

many Kinks' songs are full of homosexual themes if you look carefully
Jacob Parker
be a #1 hit and launch a new era of popular music?
Zachary Mitchell
The fuck kind of answer is that? I asked a very specific question and you gave a meaningless vague answer.
Jason Lopez
Rumble was great and innovative but it got swept under the rug, You Really Got Me ended up being a massive hit that influenced countless bands.
Brayden Reyes
I answered your question perfectly, the kinks made an iconic chart topper and link wray didn't
you're severely underrating the kinks' role in this just because they didn't "invent the concept of distortion". they were innovators, superb musicians and songwriters. that's why You Really Got Me is so important
understand? or are you going to get angry like a baby again?
Isaiah Young
>they were innovators, superb musicians and songwriters
But this is all vague and meaningless.
The reason I'm questioning is I've seen about a million bands credited with "pretty much inventing punk" and I don't see how this one is a better answer than Rumble or the Kingsman or any number of fratty garage bands that early punk bands cite before this Kinks single.
