Did "Death Of A Clown" never chart? Or was the single under Dave Davies name?
Heavy Metal invention would go the Yardbirds, whom the Kinks were dedicatedly aping in many ways and who really were a lot heavier than the Kinks.
"Autumn Almanac" (what a weird choice for a single) does go all toothless and mumbly - I realize that that's deliberate, but still don't like it - but "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion" is hilarious, this giant twisting silly putty of a song. And as Chuck said, in stuff like that and "Sunny Afternoon" - bright, goofy, nasty - the Kinks were inventing a whole new way to hate.
