I decided to turn this thread into a poll. Choose as many as you want. If I omitted someone please choose other. This is basically a poll of 1964 the beginning of the invasion.

My picks are;

The Beatles(duh) ;)
The Kinks
Petula Clark
The Yardbirds
The Animals

I really like all of them!:D

Oh, how could I forget The Moody Blues , The Who and Marianne Faithfull?:eek:
Actually Cream doesn't fall into this category. They came later. Eric Clapton was in The Yardbirds before Cream.:)

Youre Actually right, Penny Lane. Maybe Cream wasnt even in the British Invasion, The Yardbirds were.

Also The Who and Moody Blues, but I thought they came later in the 60's?

I also forgot to list Billy J Kramer and The Dakotas("Little Children"and "Bad To Me" written by Lennon/ McCartney):)

Paul also wrote Peter And Gordon's "A World Without Love" Paul was dating Peter's sister Jane Asher at that time;)

They should have been but I didn't think of them and others(there were so many!) until later. :crazy:

Stones, Yardbirds, Animals, Herman's Hermits, Dave Clark Five, Kinks and Who am I forgetting...ah, yes...

My Lord, how does one choose? Beatles, Stones, Yardbirds, Kinks and Zombies for me from this list, but also...Moody Blues, the Dave Clark Five..and I am sure others we have forgotten.

This type of list reminds me of how gobsmackingly great the 1960s was for music, particularly between 1964 and 1969. I ache to recapture that creativity again, but I know we never will.

There's no band called other, it's just other band/artist choices.

Well, to quote proud American Homer Simpson while on a trip in England "America rules! Our Beatles are way better than your precious Rolling Stones!"

Well they were both from my part of the world. Freddie and the Dreamers were from Manchester:

Cilla Black had more substantial success. Having started out taking the coats from customers at the Cavern Club, Liverpool, she became a pop star in her own right and later in life she ended as a compere on the Blind Date television show. https://youtu.be/Qz_Rh3mkki8
