The 1960s British Invasion has influenced American culture in music, art, and fashion for the last five decades. The Beatles, a British, rock, boy band, were the main leaders of changing American culture with a new type of music. Their influence on music in American society and the music we listen to will last forever. During the 1960’s, there was a huge change that happened in music all over the world.

England invaded Afghanistan again in 1878, overthrew the ruling monarch, and forced the new government to become a British protectorate, i.e., rendering Afghanistan dependent on and under the rule of the British monarch, subjected to war, plunder, land grab, economic/development crippling, occupation.

the British invasion got into American’s hearts. In many of the big urban cities of the U.K. (Liverpool, London, Manchester, and Birmingham) there was around 300+ active bands per city.

May 2014 The British Invasion Rock ‘n’ roll, Woodstock, James Bond, and the Beatles are what we think of when one of the most famous decades in history, the 1960s, comes to mind. This decade was overflowing with all different genres of music, from jazz to rock to R&B, as well as plenty of theatrical productions, both in and out of the cinema, and the various fashions and hairstyles of these years are not to be forgotten. One of the most well-known occurrences of this era was the British pop culture
The British invasion was one of the most important periods in the history of rock n roll. It brought many different bands and styles to America. Many bands including The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, and Herman’s Hermits swept the nation with their music. Americans jumped into the hype and the British invasion changed rock n roll music forever. Without these British bands, rock music would never be the same.

They were the first and most popular band in one of the most important music movements in American history, the British Invasion.

The United Kingdom has been the breeding ground for many musical movements that went on to define a musical Generation. British punk rock was one of the most iconic musical genres to emerge in the history of Britain.

707 at the JFK Airport, more than 3000 Americans screamed and waved their placards in the air. This was a band that had not yet set foot in the United States and yet the adulation of the fans was overwhelming. Indeed, this was the start of “the British Invasion.” In England, where they came from, “Beatlemania” was all the rage when the group became a phenomenon in 1963.
