"...the Dave Clark Five holds the distinction of having made 18 appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, more than any other UK group..."

And not ONE of them held any where near the excitement for kids across the USA as one of the two times the Beatles perfomed on Sullivan in February 1964.

If you dispute that, you either weren't there or you were related to one of the DC5 band members and your perception is altered.

This is not to say they didn't have some great songs (actually mostly covers.)

(Plus I did get a litle tired of Dave Clark's silly long drum roll he trotted out on nearly EVERY possible occasion--think "Over and Over")

If you are going to hold EVERY group to the same standards as The Beatles , well , then NObody else belongs in the Hall Of Fame .

Check the list of current members of the HOF and wake up .

Most of the DC 5’s were originals , and I was there dude !

Where were you ?
