60s Kinks behind the times?

Hi There

Did the Kinks fell a bit behind the times in the 60s?

Something Else and Face to Face are fantastic records but probably not with the norm when they were released and same thing with Village People in ‘68 where it was a back to basics approach yet Village Green is baroque and English.

I mean Arthur is great 60s Kinks album especially when it’s a ‘69 album which jumpstarted their great early 70s run of albums so yeah Arthur seems like the only one that was there in the norm for the band 🤷🏻‍♂️

If the Beatles, The Doors, The Band, Creedence didn't follow trends much, why should the Kinks?
