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?

I remember radio stations doing battle of the bands between the Beatles and the DC 5.  Can't remember who won though.
Once a Beatles fan, always a Beatles fan. Not something you outgrow or get over. 
Simon and Garfunkel. Never occurred to me to think of it as a clique. To me it was just the kids with good taste in music.
