   <summary>&lt;H4&gt;British Invasion&lt;/h4&gt;

Refers to those bands and artists of the early and mid 1960s who followed &lt;B&gt;The Beatles&lt;/B&gt; and crossed the Atlantic to find an American audience waiting with open arms. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Typified by ringing guitars, lyrical hooks and catchy melodies these artists were usually heavily influenced by early American rhythm and blues singers.</summary>
   <catdesc>This category includes only Bristish pop and rock groups from 1962 through 1966, which became popular in the United States.</catdesc>
