From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kink Kontroversy is a 1965 album by The Kinks. It is a transitional work, with elements of both the earlier Kinks' styles (heavily blues-influenced songs such as "Milk Cow Blues," and variations on the band's hits from 1964-65 such as "Till the End of the Day") and early indications of the future direction of Ray Davies songwriting styles ("The World Keeps Going Round" and "I'm On an Island"). The album's title is a mocking reference to the band's notorious reputation that had developed over the previous year, including a ban on performances in America, onstage fights and serious concert riots in Europe.
