I know this is non-folk but my daughter is desperate, and the Mudcat has come through in so many ways! For homework Maggie has to come up with a few informative, detailed websites on the "British Invasion" in the 1960s- Beatles, the Who, etc. She's coming up with thousands of cd offers and a few paragraphs here and there, but her teacher requires more. Any suggestions?

I know we exported Lonnie Donegan doing Anglicised American songs and a lot of Jazz Bands doing a similar thing but Cant help with the plain Pop bit.

Try AMG All Music.com and just click around or try Here for their specific article about the British Invasion.

It's a pretty good first port of call for any musical research really.
