Favorite British Invasion band?

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)

The Beatles then Stones then The Who then The Kinks. 'Art Lover' is such an underrated Kinks song.

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.
