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

Ahh , Back there in  1812 ................

I liked most of what I heard on our local AM radio station and wasn't really in with any cliques, except most of what I liked was British and/or psychedelic. Then went on to prog rock, metal, punk, post-punk, indie, reggae, and Grateful Dead, and at age 70, all those genres are still what I listen to. Never enjoyed jazz, country, blues, Elvis, etc ... I can listen to some classical on Qobuz or something, but very seldom and I don't own any. I'd say probably 70% of my music collection is UK artists. 

I’m not that old. Beatles fan all the way but did listen to the only rock AM station we could get.  My parents listened to KFI for all the non rock and the Dodgers and watched both tv channels. Gary and Pacemakers, and Herman’s Hermits for me....
Wait am I that old?

For me it was the Kinks,Yardbirds and Manfred Mann against the world, but the big battle was the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones.  And there was those people who preferred Donovan to Dylan.

Don't you just love age prejudice, it is so intellectual.

Much of the Jazz I love is from the 40s through the 60s, so I guess Miles, Chet, Bach and Mozart are simply just old fashioned music for those not with it.
