If the Kinks had only been remembered for introducing the world to guitar distortion on 1964’s “You Really Got Me”, that would have been enough, but with masterpieces like “Waterloo Sunset” and “Lola”, Ray Davies’ legacy is assured. As an unwitting progenitor of heavy metal and punk, his tunes have been covered by artists as diverse as Van Halen and The Fall, while greats like Bowie and Springsteen have paid homage too.
