Oh my gosh, there were so many, but I'll have to see how many have survived this case of galloping senility I seem to be suffering from lately. . .
The Beatles (a little band you may have heard of)
The Rolling Stones
Herman's Hermits
Gerry and the Pacemakers
Peter and Gordon
Cliff Richard
uh-oh, I've hit a brick wall, the senility's caught me. I can see them but the names elude me at the moment. Anyway, my mommy's calling me, so I have to go now. Bye.

The British invasion of the USA would be the people of the Revolutionary War. Is this what you are talking about?
