"You Really Got Me" and "All Day And All Night" are 2 songs that straddle both worlds of Heavy Metal and Punk Rock influence. Iggy Pop and members of Van Halen say The Kinks had a big influence on their song writing. A big sounding guitar riff and a simple memorable sing along chorus. The Kinks did something a lot of British bands didn't, they stayed very obviously British. Ray Davies never tried to lose his accent when singing or conversing. This truth to self is one thing that endeared The Kinks to the UK & American Punk scenes. You could tell a UK Punk band from an American Punk band even after they started copying each other's styles, the UK accent was always there.
I went to see a local Michigan Punk band called Bachus with a friend because he heard they were great. They were not great, they were barely good. They did however open with a decent rendition of The Kinks' "Give The People What They Want". It was their only cover, they should have played more, they faded pretty quick.
