Recipients of Commander of the Order of the British Empire, Eric (Clapton) & Ray (Davies)!

congrats to clapton

don't like The Kinks?

Congratulations to both!

I recall hearing of someone asking Clapton if Lola (l l l l l lola) was a real person wrong cbe winner love!

Classic tune! L-L-L-Lola...

xx to clapton but to the other guy

Fantastic news. Congratulations to two very talented people.

I have no idea what the order means apart from "the queen reckons you rock"...but yay Eric and Ray !!

Hmm...and I was listening to my Kinks cd yesterday too ...

Is that a coincidence or what?

...Maybe I'm just in tune with the universe...

So yeah, probably just coincidence

i believieve these honors give u the m more rights

Then you get shot in the leg...rough, Ray...there's a dose of reality, eh?

What else did the Kinks do besides Lola????

Some of the more well known ones would be:

All day and all of the night
You really got me
Waterloo sunset
Death of a Clown
Dedicated follower of fashion
Come dancing

(any bells ringing ?)

Gee, Andrea "All Day & All Of The Night", "Victoria", etc...back in the '80's I had an extended play single of "(I Want To Be Like) Superman" & "Low Budget" on the flipside, but I'm sure there's a website with a discography.

Ok Andrea http://kinks.it.rit.edu/

And "Everybody's gonna be happy", which was recently covered by Queens of the Stone Age
