I'm in pieces, bits and pieces at the very thought the DC5 were once held as equal to the Fab Four. We were too young at the time to understand it was all about the enduring ability to write songs. That has always been the secret to longevity in the Rock & Roll game. A very few exceptions come to mind. Joe Cocker would be one.
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?
