Ask a room of '60s fans to name their favorite British Invasion band. Go ahead. You've just started an argument that won't wrap up for hours. Best part? There's no wrong answer.
Team Beatles? The songwriting, the leap from Please Please Me to Abbey Road, a whole stack of different eras inside one decade. Tough to argue with.
Team Stones? Raw blues swagger and a refusal to quit. Keith's riffs are baked into the DNA of rock and roll at this point.
Team Kinks? Underrated for years. Ray Davies was sneaking social commentary into pop songs while half the charts were still writing about holding hands.
Team Who? Townshend's windmill. Keith Moon behind the kit. "My Generation." That's the whole pitch.
At a British Invasion Years show you don't have to pick. You get all of them, plus the American acts that climbed up to meet the moment. The '60s were a golden run because of the competition. So much great music landing at once because everybody was trying to top everybody.
So who's yours? Come see the band and let the songs settle it.
