It proves that even a world famous musician, with rock credibility can be dead wrong. He showed no understanding of the songs. And no, he never wrote anything at good as almost all the tracks on Revolver.
A stupid thing to say 24.......
Music is subjective, and just because someone does not like something, it does not mean that they are "dead wrong".
Ray does not like "Revolver" and I'm sure plenty of people feel the same.
I rather like it, but I share Ray's opinion with regard to "Yellow Submarine"...... I also think it's rubbish, and I suspect that The Beatles felt the same. However, although it is tripe, it has something, so it's good tripe. A childs song really.....

He dismisses these groundbreaking songs as if they were inferior to his work. He wishes. The Kinks were a minor band with a handful of hits. Their best was their earliest. They barely survived the British Invasion.

> which is still played on radio every day around the world
There is a lot of crap "played on radio every day...", that doesn't make it good or even worthy of mention.

That might be true, Witness. Still, radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools who want to anesthetize the way that you feel.

You have a point. They keep insisting on the playing Angie, which is so mushy it's embarrassing to get the amount of airplay it gets. So many better songs that could be played.

There are some sub standard tracks on the album. They are: Taxman, Here There And Everywhere, Good Day Sunshine, And Your Bird Can Sing, For No One, Dr. Robert, I Want To Tell You, Got To Get You Into My Life. This make 8 songs of 14.
Many of those are classics. Agree on Dr. Robert, though.
Here, There and Everywhere a classic? -Hmm. However, Got To Get You Into My Life was translated into Norwegian and performed by troubadour Lars Klevstrand under the name "Du kan godt få sitte inntil meg, Knut."

I am a huge kinks fan. But Ray’s review reeks of jealousy. And frustration. Revolver is a brilliant statement by a band in full bloom. The last Beatles album where all four played on practically every single song on the album. She said she said being the only one that all four don’t play on. It is stunning to hear the growth on this album and compare it to their first album that was a little over three years prior to revolver. Amazing.
