The Beatles, the Small Faces and the Kinks were great bands, but that was in the '60s.

Gavin Rossdale

I'm really quite normal. My imagination has some serious kinks in it, that's all.

Allan Guthrie

In theater, you really work out the kinks and figure out exactly what you want to do and what we want to say, so by the time we have an audience, we're really prepared. With TV, you have a day... Sometimes, just a few hours.

Amber Stevens

It's very schizophrenic because I like a lot of very straight pop, like Small Faces, Stones, Kinks; and on the other hand, I like a lot of avant garde things.

Andy Partridge

When I hit 11 so did the careers of Dylan and the Stones. A year later it was the Who and the Kinks.

Bob Geldof

We've got to practice three weeks, get the kinks out, then we've got to practice three weeks with the crew, and then go out for four months. It's just a huge chunk of time out of life.

Bob Seger

My favorite guitar players are Chuck Berry and Brian May and Dave Davies from the Kinks.

Brittany Howard

I think the first three Rickenbacker basses were imported around 1964. Pete Quaife, the bassist for The Kinks, bought one. Then John Entwistle from The Who bought one. As for the third one, I asked the manager of the store if I could get an employee discount. He said I could, and so I picked up that one.

Chris Squire

We've always had our hardcore fans. But the general public has a love-hate thing about the 'Kinks.' It always leaves people with a question mark on their heads.

Dave Davies

Ray is very secretive about his ideas - why not, the times that the Kinks have been ripped off, especially in the early years, it makes you a little bit cautious about telling anybody what you're doing. And that's understandable.

Dave Davies

Working with the Kinks, there always seemed to be some kind of automatic process at work. Ray and I had this telepathy happening for a long time, where one of us always knew what the other could do with something.

Dave Davies

Some of those early Kinks songs, we were barely in tune.

Dave Davies

We got our old Neve recording console, it was owned by The Kinks for a long time.

Derek Trucks

When the mid-'70s came around, it looked like, 'Oh-oh, here come the punks.' But if you look closely at The Who and The Kinks, the anger and the frustration is there... There is, within me, just the same social discontent as I go through my career. But to be typecast as a singer of peace and love is fine.

Donovan

I love Radiohead, which most people don't expect, and I listen to everything from Stevie Wonder to Steely Dan, Carole King, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, Beyonce Knowles, Vampire Weekend, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Burt Bacharach, and Paul Simon.

Eliza Doolittle

The first purchase I made with my own money was a single by The Kinks, "All Day and All of the Night" and still one of my all time favorites.

Gary Calamar

The Beatles, the Small Faces and the Kinks were great bands, but that was in the '60s.

Gavin Rossdale

I really am super lazy and doing long hair, especially mine, is a big pain in the butt. It's filled with cowlicks and kinks and curls and frizz - and it was taking too much time in the morning.

Ginnifer Goodwin

When you put a new show out, you always have a few kinks that you need to iron out, and you need to dial your show in. You figure out over a couple of weeks what songs work well together and what songs may not have the impact you thought they would at that spot in the show.

Jay DeMarcus

I wasn't on 'You Really Got Me,' but I did play on the Kinks' records.

Jimmy Page

I loved the MC5 and the Stooges, but also, the British Invasion - the Kinks and the Yardbirds - and then Led Zeppelin, of course. Alice Cooper was one of my favorite bands.

John Varvatos
