Justin and Ty delve into the biggest movement of British on American soil since the war of 1812. This time they didn't bring muskets and bayonets, they brought electric guitars and flowers instead! This invasion was a welcome one to be sure! Several big British rock bands had attempted the invasion before, and were quashed by American indifference. But John Lennon and the Beatles refused to go to America until they had a #1 hit there first. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" topped the charts and so the Fab Four boarded a plane and landed to throngs from a manic crowd eager to devour their sounds. The Beatles were followed by several other great beloved bands like the Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Herman's Hermits, and Them. There has never been a music revolution of that magnitude since, though some movements have been great, like the grunge era. Justin adores the music from the British invasion, and regardless of where Ty stands with his personal taste, he has to admit that he respects the significance of the music from this era of history.
