I thought of this idea at work (like I do all my ideas). What if we rated the major British Invasion bands.

The Yardbirds
Dave Clark 5
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Kinks
The Animals
being the major ones

and
The Hollies
Herman's Hermits
Manfred Mann
Freddie & the Dreamers
Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders
Peter & Gordon
The Zombies
being the minor bands

well, I figured lets name who each of us thinks is the:
Greatest BI Band
Most Innovative (be it any way you define innovation)
Best Guitar
Best Bass
Best Vocals
Best Drums
Longest Lasting Influence

well, to start this:

Most Innovative: The Kinks
Best Guitar: The Yardbirds
Best Bass: The Beatles
Best Vocals: The Animals
Best Drums: Dave Clark 5
Longest Lasting Influence: The Kinks
Greatest: the Animals
