Gater, you've created a new word Kinkspiracy..lol thanks for your comments !...and I agree totally the Preservation albums are great...perhaps critics knew how good the group was but had to have a go at them anyway ....lol

On "Word" the writing of Ray is more than up to par, and Dave's "Living on a Thin Line" is a classic Kinks tune.
There must have been a worldwide kinkspiracy that prevented The Kinks from reaching the same heights as the Beatles or Stones, especially when you consider their output in the late 60's and early seventies that far outpaced either of the other two big Brit acts. And, after The Beatles blew up and Mick and the boys started to delve into that disco beat later in the 70's, the Kinks always rocked. They were simply great!
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
