Wow, I can't believe only one person has mentioned the Small Faces. I put them right up there with any of the 'second tier' British Invasion bands (after the Beatles & Stones, of course). If you're a fan of the Who during their 'Mod' years, or the Kinks, Zombies, Hollies, etc., trust me, you'll like the Small Faces.

My top 15 British Invasion list goes like this:

1. Beatles
2. Rolling Stones
3. Who
4. Kinks (their original Bassist, Peter Quaife, just died yesterday)
5. Yardbirds
6. Small Faces
7. Cream
8. Zombies
9. Animals
10. Hollies
11. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
12. Spencer Davis Group
13. Donovan
14. Searchers
15. Dusty Springfield


For me, the British Invasion ends when Led Zeppelin began...I love Zep, but that was the start of a whole different era in my book.
