Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks' Something Else By from 1967 captures the band's knack for character studies and social observations wrapped in crisp, melodic British rock. Ray Davies' storytelling shines through vignettes of everyday English life, from schoolyard bullies to lonely commuters, delivered with both wit and genuine empathy.

Standout Tracks

• Waterloo Sunset: The closing track paints a tender portrait of London life with one of Davies' most beloved melodies
• David Watts: A biting yet catchy takedown of schoolyard social hierarchies
• Death Of A Clown: Dave Davies' melancholic vocal turn on this haunting character piece

Mood: observational, nostalgic, british, melodic, wistful
