The Kinks' 1970 album, Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One, is a masterful, satirical concept album that vents Ray Davies' frustrations with the exploitative music industry. Though somewhat messy stylistically, its sharp wit, beautiful acoustic-rock songwriting, and massive singles make it an essential classic. The album serves as a loosely autobiographical concept record detailing The Kinks' grueling experiences with managers, publishers, and the Musicians' Union. Rather than a strict narrative, it acts as a cautionary tale of a young band fighting to survive in a corrupt business, while also grappling with personal paranoia and the desire for freedom.
