For me it was the Kinks,Yardbirds and Manfred Mann against the world, but the big battle was the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones. And there was those people who preferred Donovan to Dylan.
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?
