The Kinks ' early recordings of 1964 ranged from covers of R & B standards like " Long Tall Sally " and " Got Love If You Want It "; to the chiming, melodic beat music of Ray Davies ' earliest original compositions for the band, " You Still Want Me " and " Something Better Beginning "; to the more influential proto-metal, protopunk, power chord-based hard rock of the band's first two hit singles, " You Really Got Me " and " All Day and All of the Night ".
