Although I love the Kinks, I'd have to say the Byrds just win for me. I love that whole West Coast California scene. They started out as Beatles imitators but became much more than that.
Hahaha. Nice one, Ffosse. You're on a roll with these aren't you?!
I won't post videos as I'm doing plenty of that already in a small thread I noticed on here...
but for me it's a really tough call this one. Hmmmm.
I'm going with The Byrds by a whisker. Like yourself, I love that free 'n' easy sound whereas the Kinks are more of a suburban typically English band.
Great comparison though and a very interesting idea for a thread. Or 'threads' I could think of many myself, but it's not my idea so I won't
