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 saw the mention of the group War.  One wonderful day of my life was driving with the top down and my best friend to Road America for The Historic Races and "All Day Music" by War came on.  The song simply added to one of the best times of my life.

Every time I hear "All Day Music" I have visual memory of a picnic we had by river, beautiful spring day. Always brings me back to that summer of 1971.
War never sounds dated to me, and sound quality is great.

A happy snob, listening to beautiful music no doubt!?!?!
Live orchestra, worthy of utter snobbery, livin' the dream
