The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there.


In school as a young teen ager, we has two groups....the Beatles fans and the Dave Clark Five fans, which I was one of.  In your youth did you have different cliques (I am thinking high school) based on what bands/singers they liked?  I was also in the minority by being a Del Shannon fan.  (yes, I am a dinosaur! ).  Thankfully I aged into Jazz and Classical for the most part, but did enjoy some popular music in the 80s.   And you?

Hilarious, I too had extremely miltaristic  female chorus teacher in 9th grade. Got kicked out of class for year for failure to conform, had to sit in principle's office for the year, deprived of all books, anything to read or distract me. Staring at the wall for 45 minutes every day. Funny thing was, I loved singing in chorus and was told I had perfect pitch.

Have to admit, I was a young radical, garage rock and later bands like MC5, Stooges, and even later,  hard core mosh pits  attracted me.
We always had the contentious Beethoven or Shubert arguments about the latest music when I was growing up...
Ok I was a teenager then and the Beatles and the Dave Clark 5 were like in one category and then you had the Rolling Stones....who weren't....
The music was good and the words Beatles rock and roll,and love songs.The Rolling Stone more Blues Rock...
The Dave Clark Five were good great Saxs. .good Rock and Roll......the Animals witb Eric Burtons voice great and the Kinks...Rock and Roll....Great time to be a teenager.....
