(Sorry, I have nothing to say about "The Chain" - always enjoy it when it's on, nicely shaded, cool opening, just never connected with me beyond that.)

96. The Kinks – Lola833 points, 15 votes

So many great things about The Chain, especially that final section with the awesome bass riff, and "RUNNING IN THE SHADOWs!"
THIS
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 July 2014 14:20 (nine years ago) link
I heard "Yoda" before I ever heard "Lola," and therefore always consider it sort of a novelty song...despite a deep and abiding love for all things Kinks.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 July 2014 14:21 (nine years ago) link
i first heard about 'lola' on 'family ties,' so

I read it as much more like hippies coupling up in a shabby old hippie house, walls leaning, "If it's yellow, let it mellow" in the bathroom, etc.
haha, yeah, I never thought of it like that, but that totally makes sense.

at some point in the last few years "Gypsy" became my go-to FMac radio jam, but for a number of years "The Chain" was my shit, glad it made the cut.

on the cassette of it's hard that i had, the end of eminence front was abruptly cut off
scarred me for lyfe
love the chain but kinda wish the bass/runnin in the shadows part rocked harder

love these crazy thin point margins. This poll is going to be so unpredictable.

xxpost i'm still not sure whether i love or hate "lola," which i guess is just right.
gr80 that pic is amazing and OTM
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Monday, 28 July 2014 14:50 (nine years ago) link
Yeah there were several more songs in the 800 point range that just missed the cut. For a while I was sure "Don't Stop Believin'" was out of the running entirely, which woulda kept people guessing a bit more.

Hopefully not! I need "Takin' Care of Business" to make this poll.

SS at the top there stands for "Steve Smith" naturally.

that little turnaround they do on 'niiiiight' at the end of the chorus before it goes back to the intro chords drives me insane.

I do kind of wish I felt the same way now about "Don't Stop Believin'" as I did when I first heard it.

You stopped belevin'!

Believin' too!
Feel like a poll of the same people 10 years ago would have led to far higher placement for Don't Stop Believin

The Chain and SDMHA are two of the few times I can tolerate Stevie Nicks, obv because they aren't her dopey songs.
― PEOPLE LIVING IN COMPETITION (Sandy), Monday, 28 July 2014 15:47 (nine years ago) link
she wrote most of "The Chain."

Ugh so fun to listen to twice and sing one part each time. I do the TP part best. Love the lyrics too, esp the stuff about knocking on the door. Who hasn't known, etc. Excellent song!
