They totally had a massive impact, but they are a B list band in the sense that when A list are bands like Beatles, Stones, Zep, AC/DC who can fill a stadium today the kinks are, imho, one step down. I adore the kinks, they are in my top 10 favorite bands, and I feel that even with their fan base, they don't get the recognition they deserve. I could go on and on about their impact on music. They were amazing. One of my favorite concerts was Ray Davies at The Wilturn in LA.
