“Waterloo Sunset” is the band’s best known and most acclaimed songs. It came out in 1967 and is highly respected for its musical and lyrical qualities. The song is commonly the subject of study in university arts courses. Ray Davies dismisses such praise and has even suggested that he would like to go back and alter some of the lyrics.
