The Kinks, formed in 1963 by brothers [[ray-davies|Ray Davies]] and [[dave-davies|Dave Davies]], are known for their eclectic and innovative style, which blended elements of [[rock|rock]], [[blues|blues]], [[music-hall|music hall]], and [[british-invasion|British Invasion]] music. With hits like [[you-really-got-me|'You Really Got Me']], [[all-day-and-all-of-the-night|'All Day and All of the Night']], and [[sunny-afternoon|'Sunny Afternoon']], The Kinks became a key part of the [[british-invasion|British Invasion]] of the US music scene. The band's music often incorporated witty, observational lyrics and social commentary, as seen in songs like [[dead-end-street|'Dead End Street']] and [[waterloo-sunset|'Waterloo Sunset']]. The Kinks' influence can be heard in later bands such as [[the-who|The Who]], [[the-rolling-stones|The Rolling Stones]], and [[the-jam|The Jam]].
