I like a bunch of The Kinks' songs that I never knew were theirs until I came to WP and was inspired to look them up.

My favourites:
All Day And All Of The Night
You Really Got Me
Sunny Afternoon
Unreal Reality

there is a version of "apeman" performed by the Esso Trinidad Steel Band which is a total hoot.

quite easily "Waterloo Sunset", which itself is one of my favorite songs of all time. Outside of that, probably "Last of the Steam Powered Trains".

Superman, it's a newer one.

I'll join the minority and say I absolutely can't stand Lola. Gross. Both the subject manner and the overall sound/feel of the song.

quite a few:

"Waterloo Sunset"
"A Well Respected Man"
"Sunny Afternoon"
"Celluloid Heroes"
"Tired of Waiting For You"
"Dedicated Follower of Fashion"

(The Pretenders versions' of):

"Stop Your Sobbing"
"I Go to Sleep"

as their "harder" material goes, I also happen to really like "All Day And All of the Night" and "You Really Got Me".
