The Kinks – Picture Book
httpv://youtu.be/jg3oDSyBBi8
I've adored The Kinks for about 10 years now. Listening to 'classic rock' pretty much my whole life, I knew them for 'Lola' and a bunch of Van Halen cover songs. This simple song, used in a HP printer commercial, piqued my interest in the band and my music listening history can literally be divided into 'Before Kinks' and 'After Kinks'.
Unfortunately, there are not many quality clips from my favorite Kinks era, which is the mid 70s 'Rock Opera' period. So this will do.

Oklahoma City really needs to work out the Kinks if I'm gonna cover my bet.

Picture quality blows, but the audio is pretty sublime.
