The Kinks Discography Map - Every Album in Order

My Kinks discography map is a music wall art print showing every studio album in order, designed as a gift for fans tracing one of the most quintessentially English recording careers in rock. From Kinks in 1964 through to Phobia in 1993, each studio album sits on the map as a station, and every musician who played on a record runs as a tube line connecting the albums they appear on.

When I'm researching a Kinks discography map this detailed, I work from album liner notes, verified session credit data and decades of music archives. The Kinks map traces three decades of recorded output, with Ray Davies and Dave Davies as the two constant running lines through every album, alongside Mick Avory on drums through the long classic-era run, Pete Quaife on bass through the 1960s records, John Dalton taking up the bass line from Lola Versus Powerman onwards, and branch lines for Nicky Hopkins on the famous keyboard parts that defined Village Green Preservation Society, plus session brass, strings and the rotating cast of musicians who shaped the rock-opera records like Arthur, Preservation Act 1 and Schoolboys in Disgrace, the arena-rock years and the late catalogue.

A Music Wall Art Print Gift for Kinks Fans

This is the kind of art print that rewards a close look. Fans tracing the band's evolution from the early R&B singles through the masterpieces of Something Else, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur, Lola Versus Powerman and Muswell Hillbillies, into the rock-opera period, the arena-rock 1980s with State of Confusion and on to Phobia will see exactly which musicians shaped each record. It hangs as a music map on a feature wall, a lounge, a studio or a hallway, and works as a milestone gift for any long-term Kinks fan.

I print every map on archival paper using a Giclée process, in A1 and A2 landscape formats, framed or unframed. You can browse the full 60s Bands Tube Music Maps collection for related artists from the same era.
