"Rock 'n' Roll Cities" is a song by the British rock group, the Kinks. The song appeared on the band's 1986 album, Think Visual, and, unlike most other Kinks songs, it was written by Dave Davies rather than his brother, Ray.
The track featured former Kinks drummer Mick Avory, despite his being kicked out of the band in 1984 during the Word of Mouth sessions due to conflicts with Dave Davies.[1] This was the last Kinks track Avory performed on. Dave Davies has since praised Avory's drumming on the song, saying, "I really liked Mick's drumming on Rock 'n' Roll Cities."[2]
