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?

Paul Revere and the Raiders defended the country against the British Invasion.  I caught them with the Stones around 1966.  “Kicks” is a great tune.

At my school, it was either the Beatles or the Stones.  Fringe groups liked 
The Animals, The Kinks, The Zombies and Them.  I don't recall anyone 
liking the Dave Clark Five.

Interesting contrast Beatles and Dave Clark 5. The contrast is usually Beatles vs Stones of which I was more into the Stones. Yes, Paul Revere & raiders were a top shelf band and had a lot of good music, but the Beatles overshadowed them. One group they did NOT overshadow was Grand Funk Railroad. They sold out Shay Stadium quicker than the Beatles. And at another venue they opened for Zeppelin who then refused to go on afterward. GFR is not in the R&R hall of shame, which is a very big injustice to them, R&R community & R&R history
