OK, I guess the Beatles are just too special for me. I've been listening to them my whole life, I know there've been bands "technically" better than them, but I know for sure they win in songwriting.
1. The Beatles 2. The Who (But The Kinks are sooo great,too. Difficult to choose) 3. The Kinks 4. The Yardbirds (Eric, Jeff and Jimmy in the same band? Are you kidding me?) 5. The Animals (They were OK) 6. The Rolling Stones (Don't kill me, I just can't stand Mick Jagger) 7. Small Faces (Haven't heard anything from them) |

Aside from the Beatles, my favourite British Invasion band - at that time (ca. 1964) was The Dave Clark Five. They had lots of melodic, up-tempo songs. The kind of songs I liked.

I voted The Beatles because I still play The White Album and it still sounds great.
The Stones have longevity but at no time during their career were they the best band. 'Who's Next' has aged well for me. The Kinks, I really like The Kinks because they are incredibly personal and quirky. They are anti-heroes. I still listen to these guys nearly as often as The Beatles. |

Hi neighbor, you are right about other great bands from the British Invasion.
I saw The Zombies about 20 years ago and it was pretty mediocre but opening was Denny Laine (Moody Blues, Wings) who kicked ass. I regret missing Eric Burden when has come through town. I have no desire to see Peter Noone and his yearly tours. I did catch The Who and Stones when I was younger. I did a wiki search for British Invasion Bands. I love these lists because it proves that: A) Creative revisionist history by person making list B) I lived in a regional bubble at the mercy of local radio stations Here is the wiki list... The Animals The Beatles Cilla Black Chad & Jeremy The Dave Clark Five Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich Petula Clark The Spencer Davis Group Donovan Adam Faith Marianne Faithfull Georgie Fame Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders The Fortunes The Fourmost Freddie and the Dreamers Gerry and the Pacemakers Herman's Hermits The Hollies[ The Honeycombs The Hullaballoos The Ivy League Tom Jones Jonathan King The Kinks Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas Lulu Manfred Mann The Merseybeats The Moody Blues The Nashville Teens Peter and Gordon The Pretty Things The Rolling Stones The Searchers Sandie Shaw Small Faces Dusty Springfield Crispian St. Peters The Swinging Blue Jeans Them The Tremeloes The Troggs The Undertakers Ian Whitcomb The Who The Yardbirds The Zombies Not all would be on my list of bands. |
