100 Greatest British Invasion Artists
Background: - The term "British Invasion" describes a musical period in the mid-1960s, during which British rock artists dominated the American music charts. The British Invasion began in late 1963, and ended with the beginning of 1967, when psychedelic rock became mainstream.

Criteria: - These British artists are rated only for their actions and recordings from 1963 to 1966. Chart success in the US and UK, lasting popularity of their recorded work, influence of their recordings and live shows, and musical impact were taken into consideration. Although the term British Invasion is only used for British bands and musicians that were present in the American charts, this list also includes artists that didn't enjoy any success in the U.S. but were active at the time.
