And this after you complain about British Invasion bands ruining music and somehow negatively effecting American culture.
Perhaps you can tell me just exactly where British Invasion bands were influenced, before hitting the shores of the U.S.A. like a destructive musical and cultural tsunami?

British bands were influenced by Blues musicians as already said. John Lennon is not a good writer and neither is Paul McCartney. They have written good songs but not on a consistent basis. I'm sure music as a whole would have been of a higher quality nowadays if the British Invasion never happened.
