Can somebody define the “British Invasion” for me. I always looked at it as the bands that would have been ignored at the time had they not been Brits. Like Herman’s Hermits, The Turtles and many many others. Seeing The Who listed so often, I guess that I might be one of the few that sees it that way.

And how the heck did I miss Nirvana? I knew I should have thought harder.

67

Except The Turtles were American!

Besides, to qualify as a British Invasion group all you needed was to be British and chart high on the American pop charts. That some of the bands were one hit wonders and/or eminently forgettable is not inconsistent with any sort of pop/rock band of pretty much any era…
