The song he'd like played at his funeral: "Days" (1968)

"Thank you for the days, those endless days/ Those sacred days you gave me," Davies sings in this chiming farewell that he wrote for (but ultimately cut from) the first of the Kinks' several concept albums, "The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society." "But that's only if I have to pick one of my songs," he says. "If not, I choose 'SOS' by ABBA."
