I've been listening to Arthur this morning and am once again, like always, amazed at how strong this album is. I mean, it would probably be in my top 20 of all time rock and roll list. Just one great song after another. Victoria is one of the best album openers of the rock era and Brainwashed should have been a massive hit. Australia, Shangri-La, Princess Marina. Almost non-stop goodness.

So I was wondering why I never see any Kinks on any of those critics best album lists? I popped over to the Aclaimed Music site at http://hem.bredband.net/acclaimedmusic/1948-02a.htm and there aren't even any Kinks in the top 200! So what gives? Where's the love?

Can any of you trivia buffs guess where the image below is from?
