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

I forgot Creedence Clearwater Revival.. Mercy that was a main stay, the heart of rock and roll, Led Zeppelin too..

Lawrence Welk was my grandmothers stuff.. She loved him..

grew up from an early age listening to much of these records from my parents collection. the who, stones, zeppelin, thin lizzy, yardbirds, still love Jeff Beck solo stuff, 
as mentioned a lot of blues as well, bb king, clarence brown, buddy guy, junior wells, kook taylor, muddy waters, etc, we lived in the chicago burbs for a while, and parents had a lot of records. a nice big collection of rock/blues/psychedelic/ folk, etc etc/............

 don't think i qualify, as i was just a wee mite listening to my parents records, which my Dad would put a couple quarters or a half dollar on the head shell for better sound :)

  im glad i  always loved music, it has helped me through tough times!!

I didn't know that the Dave Clark Five were a Brit group.  Or, are you comparing Brit to American, a la the Beatles (Brit) and the Dave Clark Five (American ?).
Also, don't forget, "Herman's Hermits."

"...I didn't know that the Dave Clark Five were a Brit group..."

From London.

I played DC5 in the hotel room before the R & R Hall. Not much mention there or the Nashville Hall either of the two Jerry's - Reed and Lee Lewis.
We had some of the best local bands here:
The Shadows, Maids, Saturday's Children, H.P. Lovecraft and Nugent's Amboy Dukes.
In between traveling acts like The Who, Cream, The Byrd's, and Buffalo Springfield.
