I actually like these guys better than the Beatles way back when

I sure do, but, then, I AM that old.

I don't but I ain't as old as you.
And jus so ya know, I was never a Beetles fan growin up.

I do !

Most definitely! ( Dave Clark Five ).
And; what's not to like about the Beatles?

The British influence on 60's pop music was amazing. The Dave Clark Five are in my playlist along with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Yardbirds, The Who, and The Moody Blues. I own most everything in their catalogs; but I like the Beatles most of all.

I remember the Dave Clark Five, I hated them then, and unlike fine wine they do not appear to have improved any with time.I much preferred the folky ballad stuff like 30,000 Pounds of Bananas:

And of course Alice's Restaurant:

And anything by a younger Jimmy Buffet, before he lost his voice and got weird.

EDIT: Woohoo! "The Load Out/ Stay": ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk7mFRWt-sY

Someone on that page commented: "I have talked to people who were at THIS, the original recording, half the crowd had left, the roadies were actually packing equipment, none of them knew this song had been written. When the song started playing, people kinda started milling back in, the road crew were almost in tears from being recognized. The crowd you hear clapping were clapping for the roadies."

I'll listen[and do] to any of these groups as opposed the garbage that's out there now. Yesteryear's music was incredible, nowadays, not so much.

Hey John E
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.
excpect'n Alice.

There is a radio station in Memphis that used to play it every Thanksgiving around noon.
Don't forget about the Group W bench.

Google Dave himself. Very astute and very rich.

Good band, the Beatles produced lots of knock offs for sure. Due to their massive success, the Beatles had the opportunity to evolve & experiment with their music, not sure some of these other guys had that chance. Great tune though, Singer Mike Smith could really belt one out.

Now how did I know you were going to say them before I even opened it, lol.

Actually, I like them both.

Although the Beatles produced a whole lot more.

And could do it for decades after...

Not bad for an old guy!

Really enjoyed that, thanks for the reminder. Have to put them on my play lists. So many great tunes from that era.
