I Kinks sono stati un gruppo musicale rock inglese, formatosi a Londra nel 1963 e attivo fino al 1996; viene considerato uno dei più influenti gruppi della British invasion e i membri sono stati inseriti nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nel 1990. La formazione originale era composta da Ray Davies (cantante e chitarrista), suo fratello Dave Davies (chitarrista), Mick Avory (batteria e percussioni) e Pete Quaife (basso); quest'ultimo fu sostituito temporaneamente nel 1966 da John Dalton e poi, definitivamente, nel 1969 sempre da Dalton.
Il gruppo, grazie a brani come You Really Got Me, All Day and All of the Night, Till the End of the Day o Where Have All the Good Times Gone, viene ritenuto precursore dei generi garage rock, hard-rock ed heavy metal. In particolare il brano You Really Got Me pubblicato nell'agosto 1964 diede vita al concetto moderno di riff chitarristico ed ebbe vasta influenza anche su gruppi contemporanei come ad esempio The Who, il cui chitarrista, Pete Townshend, spiegherà poi che il brano I Can't Explain nacque per cercare di creare qualcosa ispirato al brano dei Kinks e che My Generation nacque grazie all'influenza dei Kinks sul modo di suonare musica rock. Ebbero grande influenza anche su molti gruppi successivi come Van Halen, Clash, Blur, Oasis e altri gruppi brit pop, genere di cui si possono considerare tra i principali ispiratori.
Sono anche da annoverare fra gli ideatori del concept album. Nel 1968 (circa un anno prima del celebre Tommy degli Who) pubblicarono una delle prime opere rock, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, e pochi mesi dopo, Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire): tuttavia l'opera non venne mai rappresentata e per una serie di disguidi il disco uscì in ritardo, compromettendo il suo primato. Lo stile di questi album, molto diverso dal garage degli esordi, era orientato verso il vaudeville, il music hall e il pop da camera, una mescolanza che influenzerà il glam rock del decennio successivo. Davies si specializzò nel ritrarre con pungente ironia quadretti di vita quotidiana del suo paese, stigmatizzandone vizi e comportamenti e affrontando spesso argomenti tabù per l'epoca (la Lola della celeberrima canzone, ad esempio, era un travestito incontrato dal protagonista in un sordido locale di Soho "dove ti danno champagne che sembra coca cola"). Il gruppo, inoltre, spesso si presenterà molto critico nei confronti del governo inglese e della società, rendendo così i Kinks tra gli artisti più politicamente esposti del tempo.
Negli anni settanta orienteranno la propria attività musicale e concertistica in funzione soprattutto del mercato americano.
Peter Quaife, sottoposto a dialisi renale da più di dieci anni, è morto il 23 giugno 2010. Ray Davies ha dedicato la sua performance del 27 giugno al festival di Glastonbury in suo onore, spiegando alla folla: «Io non sarei qui oggi se non fosse stato per lui».
