Early Sixties British rock, known in Britain at the time as "Beat" (partly prompting the Beatles' name), was the music that supplied the "British Invasion" of American popular music. Mostly based on American r & b, it was created by such groups as the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, Them, the Animals, the Pretty Things, and scores of lesser-known bands. The phase lasted until late 1966, when tastes began to alter and the music metamorphosed into rock. This growing site seeks to list all the beat groups, with biographies, discographies, weekly British pop charts for 1963-1966, and a "Where are they now?" section. http://www.geocities.com/~fabgear/ Topics: Musical Genres Last updated Oct 22, 2000 Digger Archives: San Francisco Diggers (1966-68 ... and Beyond)
