On May 5, 1967, one of The Kinks most iconic and enduring classics was born. Considered one of the defining songs of the 60s, it was once called "the most beautiful song in the English language" by critic Robert Christgau. Happy Anniversary, #WaterlooSunset!

#TrackoftheWeek Dead End Street
'Dead End Street' was The Kinks' comment on poverty at the time. A song full of character, and yet containing an underlying sense of hope. Dave said the song reflects a fondness for the past, whilst also expressing a determination for change.
