Sometimes an album, a song, or a a lyric can ignite a bigger conversation for us and that's what this episode felt like. Happy Sunday folks.

Aaaaand we're back. We speed rank Arthur and Something else as we didn't have time on their respective episodes. We also discuss great lost artists whose music re-emerged in the early 2000s via the explosion of vinyl reissues and record store curation.

One of our Kinksiest pals, Jeffrey Innes from Yukon Blonde, joins us—so put a brew on and listen in as we discuss perhaps the most underrated Kinks album.

Anything pre 1970 that is in stereo is going on a huge IWOL bonfire tonight. We're becoming audiophiles and it's quite disturbing.

Billy Hamilton, a man as famous for his record collection as his high kicks, joins us to discuss and rank "Lola vs Powerman and The Moneygoround", the rockin Kinks album that may have faded into obscurity had it not been saved by Wes Anderson ;)

At least not recently. So he...

We are joined by veteran music writer Steven Hyden for a lively chat about Rock n Roll. A lotta Kinks talk too...

Listen to this episode and you be the judge.

IWOL SPECIAL EDITION! In our first ever collab with another podcast, we are joined by Dylanologists and all around nice guys Jens and Adam of the Nothing Is Revealed podcast. We needed some Dylan heads of this magnitude to finally finish the Bob Dylan ranking tournament we started years ago. So, without further ado, we give you the heavily anticipated heavyweight bout that is Electric Bob vs Pirate Bob!

It's an impossible way of life folks, no question about it.

In a classic IWOL Nolanesque time shift, we jump ahead to talk about The Kinks' "Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire)" with esteemed guest Brian D'Addario of The Lemon Twigs.

Taking a little Kinks break to discuss our new found fascination with Baroque Pop. Why did everyone have a go at it and where did they find all those harpsichords?

Our Kinksy February rolls on with their seminal 1966 album "Face To Face". This is where things really get going. We also ask the question that most are afraid to ask: Is Ray Davies better than Lennon and McCartney?

It's fucking episode 400. If you've been with us this long you know what to expect. Peace and Love, Johnny and James.

We're one episode away from 400 and no better way to ring the bells on 399 than with more Kinks. We love The Kinks and we're gonna keep talkin bout em and rankin em until the milk cow gets the first plane home.
