 | | Their success opened the floodgates for other British acts to market their music in the United States, including the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Animals, The Kinks, The Dave Clark Five, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and many others. | | | Following the successful export of Elvis Presley and other rock 'n' roll acts in the late 1950s, kids formed bands all over Britain to emulate their American heroes. | | | The Beatles quickly came to dominate the charts, and on April 4 of that year they occupied the top five spots on the Billboard magazine Hot 100 music survey, a feat unmatched before or since. |

| | Between 1964 and 1966, the British bands dominated the American charts, as well as the charts in the U.K. In that time, there was a second wave of British Invasion bands -- such as the Who and the Zombies -- which was indebted to both American rock and British Invasion pop. | | | He soon became regarded as one of the finest British songwriters of his era, as songs like "The Kids Are Alright" and "My Generation" became teenage anthems, and his rock opera, Tommy, earned him respect from mainstream music critics. | | | The British Invasion occurred in the mid-'60s, when a wave of English rock & roll bands crossed over into the American market after the breakthrough success of the Beatles. |

| | The end of the British Invasion. By Mark Jenkins |
| | The April 27 British album chart is about 60 percent American music, with only one English eccentric, a singer-songwriter who records as Badly Drawn Boy, in the Top 10. | | | A generation ago, however, British popsters were appreciated precisely for their idiosyncrasies and regional identities; bands like the Kinks and the Who, although not consistent hit-makers, had distinctive sensibilities that American admirers couldn't hope to copy. | | | British acts have been spotted infrequently on the Billboard charts in the last few years. |

| | "The Invasion's tones are very, very, well British - plugged into the low input, bell-like Vox flavoured chimes leap out of that 10" Jensen with surprising punch and the high input packs a considerable boost in gain for screaming, late sixties inspired lead tones. | | | The treble control has exceptional range - backing this off and pulling the boost switches yielded a much darker, heavier distortion very reminiscent of Brian May or early Clapton, perhaps, with the tone changing character from vintage Vox to vintage Marshall, depending on which switches are pulled. | | | The transformers sit on clever adaptor plates, which allow for a range of different types depending on your choice of output stage, and in this combo we have a 10" Jensen to move the air - one of several loudspeakers that Torres/Vyse recommend for their kits. |
