Get the heck out! I remember the moment, I can FEEL the moment, of listening to I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND on AM radio. Of course there were several such moments, but they live as one within me.
To us, that is my generational cohort, this was an as yet unknown and unfelt illumination from some remote region of the cosmos, presumably Britain, as we were soon to learn.
Where were you in '62 ? ( I Wanna Hold your Hand was released in 1964. )
To me they provided a huge shout out to the baby boomers which is why all the baby boomers went nuts. The reason I posted this is Hillary is doing the same thing with the millennials..She is getting all those early 20 year olds who have 20 million followers on Youtube to vouch for her and they are actually doing it. Trump better get his act together or she is going destroy him. He’s got a hell of an uphill battle. She’s got the media and the young indoctrinated fanatical morons supporting her.

I hear you! I was a big Elvis and Ricky Nelson fan until The Beatles hit the airwaves in 1964. I will never forget hearing their unique sound for the first time at age 14 in '64 on my little transistor radio.

There were other popular music styles at that precise time, including folk, surf, Motown, rock&roll, etc.
In my area, the British invasion had competition, and didn’t immediately push the others out of the way.
But gradually all of the British groups combined, did make a big impact.
Spring 1966 and an Easter Week trip to the Colorado River, during which I remember listening to The Stones, playing Chuck Berry sounds.
