My first big exposure to The Kinks was the late 70's live album, ONE FOR THE 
ROAD. I remember the version of "Celluloid Heroes" on there (including the 
long instrumental intro) just blowing me away. I adored the big intro, the 
clever lyrics, and Dave's big guitar solo.

Nowadays, I'd probably have to officially consider that a "guilty pleasure", 
given the general feel I've had for the "common view" that the late 70's 
Kinks were a shadow of the original (haven't seen that on this list, can't 
remember where I've picked that up). I find that period hard to dismiss, 
mainly because ONE FOR THE ROAD, SLEEPWALKER, MISFITS and LOW BUDGET were my 
intro to the band.

Seems to me that in a lot of cases, with bands you come to really treasure, 
that the first few things you hear kinda get looked upon with a bias because 
it got you into the band. (Does that make sense?)

PS: For TV, it kinda doesn't work for me because MARQUEE MOON was the first 
thing I heard, and I think it's their best work, bias aside.
