The Kinks are a British rock band founded in 1964 by brothers Ray and Dave Davies. The group is known for introducing a guitar sound into rock music that defined many later bands. Their innovative approach and unique style made The Kinks one of the most influential bands of that time.
“You Really Got Me” is a groundbreaking track by The Kinks, released in 1964. The song quickly became a hit, reaching the top of the British charts and paving the way for the band’s international career. The distinctive guitar riff by Dave Davies became a symbol of the rock sound of the ’60s, and the track itself is considered pioneering in the development of hard rock and heavy metal.
The drumming in this song, played by Mick Avory, is energetic and dynamic, perfectly complementing the aggressive guitars and vocals.
Good to know:
Initially, the song was meant to be much slower and more bluesy. It was only after the intervention of the band’s producer, Shel Talmy, who suggested speeding up the tempo and adding a stronger sound, that the track acquired its iconic character.
