In this podcast, we commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America, a historic moment that ignited the British Invasion. We delve into the music scene from 1964 to 1969, showcasing the diverse genres that emerged from the UK during that era, including pop, rock, beat music, psychedelic, blues rock, baroque pop, and blue-eyed soul. These musical exports were instrumental in shaping American culture, with their influence felt as part of the rising Counterculture, alongside phenomena like Beatlemania, Mod culture, and Swinging London. Our playlist features iconic artists such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer, Dave Clark Five, Herman’s Hermits, the Searchers, Hollies, Donovan, The Kinks, the Who, Moody Blues, the Animals, Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Small Faces, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, Manfred Mann, the Yardbirds, and many more who left an indelible mark on the era's musical landscape.
