I don't know. I think they have the second greatest catalog of songs behind the Beatles. But, they also have never had an album I enjoy from start to finish, there are always at least 2-3 songs that I skip past. I think I'd still say top 20.
Talking about the Kinks, who are great by the way, I never understood why Celluloid Heroes is not as acclaimed as some of their other masterpieces. Because that is one seriously brilliant track.

I agree with you I think they were more versatile than the Stones. I think their catalog goes 50 deep with Waterloo Sunset being so underrated. Being a American no one knows that song being a Kinks song. Every one here loves Led Zeppelin and the Kinks are sort of forgotten.
I just got 'Village Green' and 'Arthur' a few weeks ago - loved both albums. Should be slightly higher probably - I think they were at one stage in the top 10 in either songs or albums...
Kinks are in my top-10 artists, despoite the fact that none of their albums is consistently great. Their songbook is that incredible. As I've said before, Ray Davies is nearly an order of magnitude greater than Brian Wilson.
