THE THIRD BRITISH INVASION 1977-79
For many, the "third" British Invasion may have been the first one they were even aware of.
June 2, 1984
For many, the "third" British Invasion may have been the first one they were even aware of. Pictures of Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious were splashed daily on most U.S. newspapers while their infamous band, the Sex Pistols, dribbled their way across these United States. And with those pictures came tales of other bands—the Clash, the Jam, the Stranglers and many more. Did any of these bands hit it big?
Were they, indeed, "big?" Only Richard Riegel can tell you...and he doesn't even know who he is anymore!
