I'm not that huge on The Who myself. I love a great deal of their songs and a few of their albums but something about them that I can't put my finger on bugs me.

I think that the Stones and The Who are both better than Led Zeppelin. The Rolling Stones write much better songs, and the Who play better IMO. Also I don’t think Zeppelin has one album that competes with Tommy, Quadrophenia, Whos Next, Sticky Fingers, Exile, or Let It Bleed.
This is some of my favorite ever Rock & Roll. So pure and unadultered.

You got this from the official list? Sure they are a newer band than the kinks or dave clark 5, but I consider them to definetly be a part of the movement and influence, even if it came a couple of years later.

Although i don’t dispute them not being a part of the height of the British Invasion.
They’re a part of it in the same way Reconstruction is an essentail part of Civil War history.

In a word, @sir walter raleigh, yes.
The term "British Invasion" refers to a specific period, 1964-65, and the bands and artists who were a part of the first wave of British acts to break the American market.
It is a well defined term, and the artists involved in it are easily identifiable by the time frame.
Yes, Zeppelin are a British band who conquered America, but they came after the period identified historically as the "British Invasion".

Read my above post which added to the notion of Led Zeppelin being a part of it. You are right about the time period no doubt. No dispute there.

It still makes them a post-British Invasion band, who grew out of the ashes of a British Invasion band - The Yardbirds; just as the reconstruction following the Civil War was, by definition, post-Civil War.
The latest you can push the British Invasion is 1966. An act formed in 1968 is just too late to be considered a part of it.

exactly the point of my amendment. No Zeppelin is not a part of it but I think there is a flaw in leaving them out of the discusion entirely. Same as with Reconstruction.
But I digress. I love all of the bands a lot except for The Kinks and Dave Clark 5, as I’ve never really been a fan of their style.
My above comments about Zeppelin, The Who and The Stones in no way reflects a negative opinion of Led Zeppelin.

Interesting points being brought up.
I also forgot about The Spencer Davis Group, Peter and Gordon, Dusty Springfield, The Hollies, and Chad and Jeremy!
