KINKS inspired LOLA T-shirt

For those that know their rock n' roll history, The Kinks are so much more than another British Invasion band. They may not have hit the commercial heights of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones or The Who, but their influence is every bit as far reaching. You Really Got Me invented the heavy metal riff long before Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath; Ray Davies lyrical talents elevated The Kinks' music above mere pop music into the realms of the troubadour poet and with Lola they broke sexual taboos that even 1960's swinging London wasn't truly ready for with a tale of nightclub liaison with a transvestite .Quintessentially English, The Kinks are true heroes of rock history.
