I think "Dead End Street" would make my top 20, maybe "Tired of Waiting" too..."Sitting in My Hotel Room" is great as well, but one I tend to forget a bit. I love "Complicated Life" for its sheer Kink-iness but it's not one I'd listen to over and over.<br /><br />I'd love to see your list "du moment!"Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346907309197209366.post-54901204111817832632011-01-18T16:48:52.939+01:002011-01-18T16:48:52.939+01:00Great songs all -- though I think the only one tha...Great songs all -- though I think the only one that would make my Kinky Top Ten would be Waterloo Sunset. Mine would certainly include "Sitting in My Hotel Room" and "Tired of Waiting" -- "Dead End Street" and "Complicated Life" would probably make the cut too. But that's what's so fun about being a Kinks fan, the catalog is so immense and so deep. And as you say, it changes from year to year. So glad to see you're back blogging!Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346907309197209366.post-21108828761601836392011-01-12T05:59:45.696+01:002011-01-12T05:59:45.696+01:00Jean-Luc -- Interesting combination on that EP.
