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?

Was in high school in the mid 60's.  Cliques...sure, but don't recall any of them being aligned with bands/singers.  Never jumped on the Beatles' bandwagon, nor the Stones' for that matter.  Never got jazzed over DC 5 either.  Only recording of theirs I ever liked was Catch Us If You Can.  The Who?  Nah.  As with some other contributors here, my British Invasion tastes ran more toward Manfred Mann (My Little Red Book), Kinks (Sunny Afternoon), Animals (I'm Crying), Yardbirds (Heart Full Of Soul), Troggs (With A Girl Like You), Hollies (Look Through Any Window) and yes...unapologetically...Herman's Hermits (No Milk Today).

Anybody want to watch "Pirate Radio" again?
