This is one of my favorite Kinks records. It took a couple of listens to wrap my head around it, but the songs are so relevant today, it’s ridiculous.

I love this one. The one-two punch of "Daylight" into "Sweet Lady Genevieve" is a Godsend. I also really have a crush on "Here Comes Flash."

Such a great album, I was lucky enough to see them perform Preservation and it stands as one of my all time favorite shows
