But I'm akin to Holly in that that doesn't stop numerous <i>Soap Opera</i> moments from popping up from my subconscious. Only, the songs that most often come to my mind are probably the most comic ones: The lines "My baby's got the most deplorable taste but her biggest mistake is hanging over her fireplace" must come to me unbidden 3 or 4 times a year. And "don't take my word for it, TRY it yourself" more often that that!Who Am Us Anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260586634760800759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881529753691091240.post-76961526835449837112009-11-19T09:40:16.974-08:002009-11-19T09:40:16.974-08:00I dearly love every second of this album.

Irrationally so, I suspect -- but it came along at the right time of my life, when nobody else was listening to the Kinks and they were getting so weird. They were like my eccentric English cousins that I had to hold near and dear to my heart. It's too bad that many of them don't work out of context, but for me, this album is packed with brilliant songs that have their own stratum in my subconscious. I don't think I could have survived my first few office jobs without having "Rush Hour Blues" and "Nine to Five" playing in my head!Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.com
