The Kinks - Lola Versus Powerman and the Money-Go-Round

I had heard of The Kinks, but had never taken the time to listen. Then, a few weeks back, my girlfriend and I [along with a few friends] were watching the Wes Anderson film, The Darjeeling Limited and I heard an incredible song. It was folky and had banjo and a great vintage sound. Little did I know that it was the song "This Time Tomorrow" by The Kinks. Immediately I began investigating and it wasn't long before I had the album in my possession.

Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround is a wonderfully written album, in the spirit of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, but with much more of a folk edge. Reminiscent of George Harrison's solo work, but catchier. Most certainly worth your time.
