A Beadle is someone involved in the British Invasion begun by the Dave Clark Five, which was waged onward by The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Herman's Hermits, The Who, and, ultimately, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Pink Floyd, The Sex Pistols, The Clash and Iron Maiden. Coldplay, The Chemical Brothers and Radiohead continue the Revolution to this day.
