Purpose of use	This sample illustrates a section of the article directly discussing the song, "Waterloo Sunset". This song is extremely significant in the band's history; one of their most famous songs, it is near essential to a least show a portion of it within the article. The song is extremely well known and influential; it has been praised by numerous artists and critics. Robert Christgau called it "the most beautiful song in the English language" (Christgau, Robert. "Consumer Guide: The Kinks". Retrieved 27 November 2009.). Allmusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine cited it as "possibly the most beautiful song of the rock and roll era" (Erlewine, Stephen. "To the Bone". Allmusic. Retrieved 27 November 2009.). Such an important song in the band's career requires representation, and this sample serves that purpose. The sample also shows a distinct moment in the band's career, as they began writing more reflective, introspective, and observant songs (See Stephen Thomas Erlewine's The Kinks on Allmusic.com). This clip serves to show this distinct moment and sound. In a nutshell; a sample of the song shows one of the group's most famous songs from a distinct point in their career. It is believed to improve the integrity and the quality of the article as a whole.
