The British Invasion was a musical movement in the united states during the 1960s and

was very popular. The movement's popularity was because the music groups were influenced by

American rock and roll, blues, and rhythm & blues and could also write and perform very simple

yet catchy songs. The music well-represented counterculture and the aspects of British culture

were becoming popular, and hence the people embraced the music. The Beatles are very popular

even today because of their musicality and how their music has grown over the years and

become even more sophisticated (Cohen, 2017). One aspect of their music that makes them

popular is their harmony. The band has a lot of following and impacts more on the youth who

love their songs very much.

The doors are one of the greatest rock bands to ever exists, and I love them because of the

quality of music that they produced. One of the greatest hits to have been sung by this band is

'break on through to the other side” The song was about breaking barriers and not living by the

limits that have been set by society and the personal fears that one might have. The band

received a few recognitions and awards for making great hits that had a good melody, rhythm,

and even themes and messages (Carter, 2020). Jim Morrison was a great songwriter who had

mastered the art of playing around with poetry and coming up with controversial but very

influential music. Jim Morrison was the leader of the band, and he was an icon of rebellion, and

a lot of controversies surrounds his life and death.
