Stop The Clocks?? WELL DONE!

Even I haven't got round to buying it yet!

I'm currently listening to a lot of 50's rock 'n' roll. Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Elvis...

I know a lot of people slag off on the Gallagher brothers, but they do write some awfully good rock and roll.

They do indeed and Stop The Clocks is a perfect introduction to their greatest work. It is a little telling though that there is'nt much on here outside their first couple of years!

YES! Oases were the best band of the 90's!

The reason they are underappreciated in the States is because I think they are a little too British. Not just in terms of their music, but also attitudes and personality. It’s for these reasons that great 60's bands like The Kinks and The Small Faces never really cracked America. Even with a band loved like The Who, it took a couple of years and a change of direction to mean anything outside of the UK.

Jumacfly, many have Definitely Maybe down as the greatest debut of all time. Its certainly top 5!

Weren't the Kinks banned in the United States? I always figuredthat is why they were never really that popular here.

Yes, they were banned for fighting on stage. Either that or the incident with Ray and Dave dancing together on national TV led to it. I still beleive their Englishness would've been a major factor anyway. Especially as the decade went on and they stoped the cover versions and started writing about the tax man and Dedicated Followers Of Fashion.

The thing with America, is that whilist the UK and Europe embrace a lot of what you have to offer, you don't return the favour so much!

No, they weren't banned! In our federal system such is not possible....but they were effectively boycotted by organized labor when they tried to tour in the 60's bypassing union workers and refusing to get musician union cards....they finally knuckled under in the early 70's...
23rd November 2006 12:14 PM
Sir Stonesalot Nope. The Kinks were never "banned". They were blackballed...which is different. It wasn't that they were prohibited from coming to the US...it was that no one would book them.

It wasn't for anything as cool as fighting on stage. It was their use of non-union roadies that led to the blackballing. Promoters, under pressure from several US labor unions, declined to promote US tours that would have made the band at least as popular as The Who...and maybe even rival The Stones. The Kinks wouldn't budge, insisting that they had to use their own crews so as to get the proper sound. So they missed the US, for the most part, at the height of the British Invasion.

Honky Tonk Man Well, I didn’t realise it was anything as uninteresting as that. As usual, my fellow posters on this board are more insightful than some of the crap I read in books. I am positive I have a Kinks book somewhere which states they were banned for fighting!


Am I right in thinking that The Who didn’t exist in America (in terms of record sales) until the late 60's? I know they didn’t visit until 1967 when they’d stopped being modelled as mods, which of course, they never were.
