971 - The Kinks Big Sky 1968

The Kinks are perhaps the most British of the British invasion bands, incorporating traditional pop, blues, folk and country.
"The Village Green Preservation Society" is described as "a concept album lamenting the passing of old-fashioned English traditions". The album as a whole is rather cozy, fun, and brings back a sense of youth. In "Big Sky", the mood softens for a sweet little sung passage, and then glides into a really beautiful, dreamy middle section that's somewhat reminiscent of 'Waterloo Sunset'.
