They are considered one of the most influential bands of the 1960s and are often cited as a precursor to the punk rock movement.
The Kinks are best known for hit songs like "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," and "Lola." Their music style ranged from garage rock and R&B to more complex arrangements and social commentary in later albums. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and their music continues to be celebrated for its originality and influence on subsequent generations of rock musicians.
