I've got a friend doing matches on Facebook so i thought I'd bring the concept here:
Put the following three groups in order from your favorite to least favorite and list your favorite song and album from each;
First up: The Who, The Kinks, and The Rolling Stones?
For me:
1. Kinks ("Better Things"; VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY) 2. Who ("Baba O'Riley"; WHO'S NEXT) 3. Rolling Stones ("Paint It Black"; THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST)

1.The Rolling Stones – Satisfaction – Let It Bleed 2. The Who – Bargain – Who’s Next 3. The Kinks – You Really Got Me - ?
All magnificent bands, each with a lot to offer.
I love Keith Richards' lead guitar on Satisfaction. I also love Midnight Rambler from Let It Bleed and most of the album for that matter. I do wish the included Honky Tonk Women had been the single version though. I’m not saying Let It Bleed is better than Exile On Main Street, it’s just my personal preference.
Who’s Next must be one of the greatest albums of all time and Bargain is my favorite track from it. I haven’t been able to get into Tommy as much, though many fans seem to prefer it. The Who obviously had a lot of top songs, so I can’t really say Bargain is my absolute favourite, but I wanted to offer something.
You Really Got Me is awesome; one of my all-time favourite songs from any artist. Hard Rock in 1964. The Kinks album choice is harder for me. I’ve mainly listened to their singles collections. Maybe I would go for Something Else, but I’m not sure.

The Rolling Stones - The Last Time (but Backstreet Girl is very very close); Flowers The Who - Can't Explain; Who's Next The Kinks - Celluloid Heroes; ?

Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil - Some Girls (I grew up with Flowers. I really liked it too. I didn't even know it was a "best of" album. Some Girls was more my era. I liked Goats Head Soup too.
The Who - With Who Are You out of my current playlists for a while, I'd have to go with My Generation. - The reason I didn't jump on this thread earlier, I don't know much about the Who or the Kinks' albums. For the Who, I have Who's Next, Who Are You, It's Hard, Endless Wire and Thirty Years of Maximum R&B. I know Who Are You the best. I had it when it was new (the later albums too but...). I know Tommy from the movie. I got Quadrophenia used on vinyl. I never could get into it. I'll go with Who Are You, Sister Disco and all.
The Kinks - You Really Got Me - I have the dreadful Everybody's in Show Business (I mistakenly got it for Lola), and The Singles Collection. I'll go with the Best Of.

Here’s another one just for the hell of it.
Three great American bands of the 1960s:
1.The Byrds – Have You Seen Her Face – Younger Than Yesterday 2.The Beach Boys – Caroline, No – Pet Sounds 3.The Doors – Riders On The Storm - ?
I love both Younger Than Yesterday and The Notorious Byrd Brothers from the Byrds. A lot of fans would probably go for the latter, but I slightly prefer the former. It’s full of songs I really enjoy: So You Want to Be A Rock And Roll Star, Have You Seen Her Face (perfect for the Summer of Love), Time Between, The Girl With No Name, Why. There had to be one dud: CTA-105.
I’ve heard a few of the Beach Boys early albums and they are fun, but it’s Pet Sounds for me; more adult. As for their best (or, my favourite) song, I was tempted to go for Heroes And Villains, but whatever.
I haven’t played any Doors albums for years, but from what I remember I rated The Doors, Strange Days, Morrison Hotel and LA Woman all about the same: all good. Riders Of The Storm is my choice for a single song. I’ve heard it way too much on the radio, but I think it is classy and I like the sound effects

I'm surprised more of you aren't familiar with the Kinks albums. I think their 66-71 albums are as strong as that of any group not named the Beatles!

As to kc's trio:
1. Beach Boys (When I Grow Up To Be A Man; PET SOUNDS): I enjoy most of the Beach Boys "minor" hits more than the "big guns". Other favorites include"Wendy", "You're So Good To Me", "Friends", "Girl Don't Tell Me", "Do It Again" and "All Summer Long". I was tempted to list THE BEST OF THE BEACH BOYS VOL. 2 as my favorite album. 2. The Byrds (My Back Pages; GREATEST HITS): I really love almost every popular song the Byrds had, both the Dylan covers and the originals. I prefer the collected singles to any individual album. 3. The Doors ("Break On Through"; THE DOORS): Again I would almost put the BEST OF ahead of the debut album as I like so many of their songs.
I like all 3 of these groups, but I would say I prefer all three of the British groups more than i do these three American groups (though a choice between the Stones and the Beach Boys would be very close).

The Byrds: So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star (I wanted to only choose an original song, rather than a cover. But, if I did choose a cover, it would My Back Pages); ? The Doors: The Crystal Ship; ? The Beach Boys: In My Room; Pet Sounds (I guess)
I have some albums by them, but I'm a song guy when it comes to these bands.

The Doors - LA Woman - LA Woman, the alt version of Riders on the Storm is pretty good too.
The Beach Boys - I Get Around - It's hard to pick an album. All the CDs I own have 2 albums on each CD. I also replaced a lot of the song versions in my Beach Boys playlist with the Fifty Big Ones remixed versions. Can I go with Little Deuce Coupe/All Summer Long?
The Byrds - So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star (I like the Byrd House version) - I don't know no Byrd albums. I have a best of.

Here's another one: Elton John, Billy Joel, and Paul McCatrney (solo)?
1. Paul McCartney ("Calico Skies"; BAND ON THE RUN) 2. Billy Joel ("Prelude/Angry Young Man"; THE NYLON CURTAIN) 3. Elton John ("Your Song"/GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD)
McCartney easy top pick for high quality and quantity of outstanding songs and albums, plus easily best late career (starting with the great FLAMING PIE). Billy Joel and Elton John are fairly even for singles, but Billy Joel had better depth in his album tracks. Elton loses points for how boring many of his singles got late 70's onward (with a few exceptions of course).

Three stars very prominent in the 1970s and after.
1. Paul McCartney – Maybe I’m Amazed – New 2. Elton John – Tiny Dancer – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 3. Billy Joel – Just The Way You Are – The Stranger
Obviously I’m going to put Paul McCartney first and no surprise in what I list as his best song. It’s not necessarily my favourite, but it is up there. I am on record here as stating that I cannot separate several of his albums as being best. So, rather than list them all, I went for New. It is my favourite at the moment and the one I have played the most often over the past three years.
I was tempted to list Your Song as my favourite Elton John song, but it is already on the board, so I chose Tiny Dancer, which I like about as much. I love the orchestral backing on it.
I don’t own many Billy Joel albums, but I do have The Stranger.

1. Rolling Stones: Wild Horses, Exile On Main Street today but I love many Stones' albums 2. The Who: My Generation, don't have a fave album, maybe a greatest hits one, I grow weary of Townsend quickly. 3. The Kinks: You Really Got Me, never played or listened to a Kinks album, don't ever care to.

JSD,
You don't know what you are missing!
Ray Davies is like a mix of Lennon and McCartney as a songwriter. Absolutely brilliant lyrics and a great variety of musical styles.
I would say start with SOMETHING ELSE. If you don't like that album (which I would find hard to believe) then maybe a later one would be more to your liking-perhaps LOW BUDGET or STATE OF CONFUSION. If you do like SOMETHING ELSE then it is time to go to their masterpiece VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY.
It also might make sense to start with THE KINK KRONICLES. Basically covers their best songs from their best period (66-71) from "Sunny Afternoon" to "Lola".

Paul McCartney - Junior's Farm - Band on the Run - Easy favorite performer Elton John - Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Billy Joel - Scene's From an Italian Restaurant - Glass Houses (Just realizing I'm a little light on my Billy Joel. I don't have The Stranger.)

I call it the solo equivalent of "Get Back".

I did not mean to be so dismissive of The Kinks as I do like many of their singles and their "comeback" 1980's hit "Come Dancing" was awesome and played at many I.U. parties the year it came out. In fact that would be my favorite Kinks song. It reminds me of the good times I had at IU as an undergraduate from 1981 through 1985 and this song was popular in 1983! I am just not motivated to explore many more British Invasion bands here in 2017! I have got my Beatles first and then the Rolling Stones. I am an Avett Brothers freak and that gets my non-Beatles energy! But thank you for the suggestions and I may do some YouTube exploring on The Kinks.

Having just finished a book on the music of 1965 (and starting one about 1966) I've been checking out more Dylan songs on YouTube. I finally got around to listening to his "Norwegian Wood" sound-a-like "4th Time Around" the other day. Lovely melody. I just can't get past the voice. It is just awful! I've always been a fan of Dylan the songwriter. I'm just not a fan of Dylan the singer. But I am going to keep checking out his songs! Maybe there is another unknown (to me) "Subterranean Homesick Blues" out there! (My favorite song of Dylan the singer)

You might want to check that one out (if you haven't already).

Dylan ain't about the voice. Great songs with him singing: Highway 61 "God said to Abraham, kill me a son. Abe said "God you must be putting me on" God said"No". Abe said "What?" God said "You can do anything you want Abe but the next time you see me coming, you better run". The music gives Abe time to think about it. Abe said "Where you want this killing done?" God said "Down on Highway 61".

I love his voice even today. His Christmas album released a few years ago is among my favorite Christmas music even with his raspy voice! I would say The Beatles/John/Paul/George(solo) are my number 1 then Bob Dylan is my number 2 for the historic artists. The Avett Brothers are my #1 contemporary band, hands down. Their songs inspire every aspect of my life.

You might want to check that one out (if you haven't already). I actually think Bob has grown into his voice. I never disliked his singing, but when he was younger, it seemed to me that he was trying to maintain cred by sounding like Woody Guthrie or other folk, country, and blues artists. But, today, I think it reflects him. Without knowing the lyrics, through his voice today one can hear the experiences and feelings of a man who has been around. The younger Dylan's singing kept the songs away from himself. The older Dylan's singing brings the songs into his being.

I tacked on "Most Likely..." for the Dylan fans who may not have heard this modern remix of the Blonde on Blonde song from '66. Actually, the songs I listed are just examples of songs that show Dylan's command of his vocals, his style. Saying you don't like Dylan's voice is like saying you don't like someone like Humphrey Bogart because he didn't have a classic, pretty, pleasant, eloquent voice.

I appreciate that he is a great songwriter. I love listening to the Byrds, Peter, Paul, and Mary, and many others singing his songs. And as I said, I love Dylan singing "Subterranean Homesick Blues". I like a lot of the early folk stuff. I also love "Hurricane". "Gotta Serve Somebody" is the low point of his career by far. Moronic lyrics to go with his horrible singing. Only Mark Knopfler's excellent guitar saves that song from being unlistenable!

The words to it are supposed to be basic and generic - but whatever... What really stumps me is how you say you can't stand Dylan's voice, yet say you like him singing "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (!?). It's the same approach, the same voice, the same tongue-in-cheek style as so many other songs he does. And it's funny that you mock the lyrics to "Gotta Serve Somebody", when the lyrics to "Subterranean Homesick Blues" are exactly as random-sounding, by-the-numbers, and dashed-off as "Gotta Serve's" are !

I don't hear that same slow nasal type quality in Subterranean Homesick Blues that I do in Gotta Serve Somebody. In Subterranean Homesick Blues I like how his vocals gel with the music. To be sure the vocals are not "great", but they don't detract from the song for me. As to the lyrics, I think it's a great bunch of semi-nonsense stream of consciousness with little bits that are pretty inspired (debjorgo quoted one of the best lines) Meanwhile Gotta Serve Somebody has that slow drawn out nasal quality. The backup vocals don't do much for me either. Then there's the lyrics to Gotta Serve Somebody. I completely disagree with them. YOU DO NOT have to serve either the devil or the Lord. You can simply be yourself. Most of life lies in the gray area between those extremes. Dylan's lyrics here bring out one of the worst aspects of some "religions": the whole "holier than thou" type of mindset. The whole mentality where if you say you are "serving the Lord" then you are somehow better than other people. With the current political climate in this country I'm really disgusted with these so called "Christians" who support Donald Trump. In my mind they are not "Christian"at all. Christianity has nothing to do with "hate" and putting yourself on a pedestal above others. True Christians want to help other human beings. Sorry for the rant. I just really dislike that song!

Then there's the lyrics to Gotta Serve Somebody. I completely disagree with them. YOU DO NOT have to serve either the devil or the Lord. You can simply be yourself. Oh, okay - so you have an issue with the "God" aspect of the song, or it being a religious message. I didn't get that impression from you before. I thought you were basically referring just to the nature of rhyming phrases like "might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk... might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk" (heh heh - I love it just from writing those words - so much fun! ) . I even agree with what you say above, even though I'm a believer. But my point was, the run-on nonsense talk done in both "Serve" and "Subterranean" are the same approach. Meh. I just have fun with the wordage of the song. So it's Dylan's religious belief, his own POV - I don't have to accept it as a fact in order to enjoy the fun wordplay (" You can call be Bobby, or you can call me Zimmy!" --- LOL!!! Love that! )/ What I hate is that it seems people think they can dump on Trump without concern. Just bring up his name negatively anywhere, and whoever's around is bound to agree - right? Not necessarily. I'm disgusted by any Christians and non-Christians who just think they're such "humanitarians", yet they go around damaging property and spewing their rhetoric and vitriol, all the while thinking they're so above "those others". Seriously, I have never witnessed as much ugliness and uncompromising nastiness as I have seen unconditionally hurled against that man. (Well, maybe it's a tossup between him and Yoko Ono). The "You can call me Bobby or you can call me Zimmy" line is great! I'm religious myself. I just disagree with the religious message Dylan is espousing in that song. Probably didn't need to bring Trump's name into the conversation, but t was having a brain cramp and couldn't think of the term I wanted to use, but now I remember: "Conservative Christian". What a BS term-another word for that is "Hypocrite". Since I did bring up Trump, I will make a couple Beatles related comments. I think he (unlike Yoko) has deserved most of the negative attention he has gotten. When Trump won the election I experienced such an awful depressing feeling. I realized the last time I had felt this badly about a world event was when John Lennon was shot. Back in 1980 it was friends stopping by or calling and the radio playing all the John Lennon and Beatles music that brought me out of my funk. With this election it was mostly through Facebook friends sharing their feelings and posting inspiring songs from YouTube that I came out of this funk. The power of great music can really come to the forefront in the most tragic of times!
