Can you name all these British Invasion bands of the 1960s?
They weren't as big as the Beatles, but they were big!
Everybody knows the Beatles. But they were not the only Brits to rock America in the 1960s. The Fab Four were merely the vanguard of the British Invasion.
Dozens of groups from the U.K. scored big hits — and reshaped rock 'n' roll as we know it. Some of these bands continued to rock stadiums for decades, while others were more Sixties phenomena.
Let's see if you can recognize these groups. Read the hints and examine the album covers for clues!
