firstly, the Beatles are pure awesomeness. and were the greatest band of the 60s-- no, of all time! to suggest otherwise is to insert fun into the discourse which i am required to suck out!

also? choosing the kinks as the most british british invasion band is, like, cheating, since they were banned from the US for 5 years and became more british almost by default.
