ロックの歴史⑦

ブリティッシュ・インヴェイジョン
1964年にビートルズがアメリカ進出をはたし、全米ヒットチャートの１位から５位までを独占するという前代未聞の大成功を収める。

彼らの成功をきっかにリヴァプールのバンドブームは沸騰し，多くのバンドが登場し，ロンドンなど他の地域からも，R&B的なローリング・ストーンズやアニマルズ，また，ジェフ・ベック，エリック・クラプトン，ジミー・ペイジの3大ギタリストを擁したヤードバーズ，ハード・ロックの雄であるザ・フーやキンクスら，一つの時代を代表するバンドが，アメリカのミュージック・シーンへ参戦した。

このような，ビートルズをその頂点とする英国系バンドのアメリカ＝世界進出は，“ブリティッシュ・インヴェイジョン”（英国の侵略）と呼ばれ，ここにロックは完全に世界の若者の共通語となった。
