Well can't say I was a fan, bit too young maybe, but I did notice Lola when they released it the second time, a live recording, it reached the number one position in Holland for months and as a kid, I lóved it! Actually, it was the very first single i ever bought! But a fan, not really, just this one song, wich i play every now and then, still a gréat great song!

I think that's supposed to be C O L A. Of course, that entire decade is a bit hazy...

Hey Willem,

Can't imagine my disaffected youth without them. It's great to see these songs on the program.

My FAVORITE album by the Kinks: "Misfits", an important part of my soundtrack to 1978-79.
Start to finish, a Masterpiece ... I can't put my finger on why it's still so underrated, it's not like it sounds that dated.

Misfits was also my introduction to The Kinks. 1979/80 was my senior year in highschool and I remember well driving around in the Seattle rain in my parents' big black '73 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with the following rocking on the 8-track:

- Kinks, Misfits
- Rolling Stones, Some Girls
- Neil Young, Live Rust
- Supertramp, Breakfast in America
- ELP, Brain Salad Surgery
- Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
- Led Zeppelin, In Through the Out Door
- Bob Dylan, Street Legal
- CSN, CSN
- Elvis Costello, This Year's Model

Misfits definitely got the most attention when I was alone, but was also definitely the least favored by friends who hitched a ride. Listening to it now, I think it has weathered the years much better than anything else in that library.
