Albums in British Invasion


Description

When the Beatles soared to the top of the American pop charts in early 1964, they paved the way for the success of dozens of British rock bands during the mid 1960s. The Beatles' innovative harmonies, ringing guitars and rebellious attitude rocked the hearts of millions of teenage Americans, who suddenly couldn’t get enough of British rock ’n’ roll. British groups like Gerry and the Pacemakers and Herman's Hermits churned out singles that sounded similar to the Beatles and were enthusiastically embraced by fans across the Atlantic. Innovative UK artists like the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Yardbirds helped the Beatles expand rock music's horizons.
