Oh man, the Kinks are probably my favorite band of all time. Let me just say that their run of GREAT albums from 1966-1971 is one of the most magnificent in the history of rock. My personal favorite is Something Else By the Kinks (1967), which is also my favorite album of all-time. But seriously, if you like what you've heard so far you can't go wrong with any of these:
Face to Face (1966)
The Village Green Preservation Society (1968)
Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) (1969)
Lola vs. The Powerman and the Money-Go-Round, Pt. 1 (1970)
Muswell Hillbillies (1971)
I think this just about sums it up, but I would add in "The Kink Kontroversy" as well. I actually prefer it to "Face to Face" which is my least favorite Kinks album from this era. Fans of "The Kink Kontroversy" should check out the cover of Sleater Kinney's album "Dig Me Out" and you can feel cool when you get the reference.
