How about this one........................ All day and all the night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vnfU9VGo3w&feature=related

SET ME FREE kills me all the time :):)

Yes!!!! Kinks rock!! OK, you've heard it a thousand times, but imagine how groundbreaking that guitar on You Really Got Me And All Day And All Of The Night sounded in '64!!! Surely the NASTIEST sounding UK records at that time? Personal fave tho, is See My Friends, wotta spangly raga-infused gem...simply beautiful, closely followed by Waterloo Sunset most likely.. I think they're one of those bands much like the Stones that made a whole string of KILLER singles, but I find their early albums a little patchy...

Ray Davies should be the poet laureate of the United Kingdom.

Van Halen did it back in 1978 w/ "you really got me"....kicked Ass!!!! John White said:

If your a band and need to fill out your set, look at learning a Kinks song. So many great ones, I love "Who'll be the next in line".

Billy Childish has written some sort of unfathomable amount of killer songs. He's amazingly prolific, and while I can't say I love every single record but I'd say about 85% is killer. One of my favorites will always be"Wiley Coyote" because we used to close Quasi-men sets with it and it was a crowd pleaser and my drummer could do one hell of a childish voice. Where I think Childish really excells is his honesty that he puts into his songs even when it's contradictory. A very personal example would be the awesome song "The day I beat my father up"

My favorite bands of his are Thee Mighty Ceasers, The headcoats / headcoatees / and the buff Medways.
For somebody getting in to him I would strongly suggest the Elementary headcoats record

heres a few other songs of his I love

You make me Die
Double Ax (famously covered by The Mummies)
Come Into My Mouth (headcoatees covered nicely by the smears on there in the garage lp for Dionysus)
I wasn't made for this world
I Don't Like The Man I Am

and if course the best song title in his catalog

I've been fucking your daughters and pissing on your lawn

Thanks for all of your replies, I can see by your posts that you all are very passionate when it come to his music.

For me it's "When you Stop Loving Me"
other than that I like all of his stuff.

another great interview with ian svenonious. http://www.vbs.tv/watch/soft-focus-uk/billy-childish Lately i've been obsessed with this release of his. it's billy, wolf, julie and james taylor, doing jazz versions lie detector and sally sensation. I'd love for a whole album of this. http://damagedgoods.co.uk/band/?c=Guy-Hamper-Trio headcoats/tees - The Kids Are All Square - This Is Hip is worth checking out too. hell everything is great.

I'm going to say Jack White.

I'm not the biggest Stones fan in the world but I'm gonna have to go with "Beast of Burden." There is something about the way Mick Jagger says "Pretty, pretty girls..."

I liked the early Stones. My favorite is probably, "Get Off of My Cloud" "Gimme Shelter" and "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" Pretty good too, tho, I have never really been a Stones Fan or even The Who for that matter. Played out.
