you just hit on my favorite British Invasion group. I loved their sound and those shirts they wore. Sadly, they ran out of creative juices after a couple years, but I think Dave Clarke went on to become one of the wealthiest of the short-lived rock stars. Do your remember all those fanzines of 1964 highlighting The Beatles vs. The Dave Clarke 5 battle? I remember a neighbor whose taste in music at the time ran to Mario Lanza and John Philip Sousa - a bit odd for a teenager in the 60's - who moved to Hawaii and saw the DC5. He wrote to say that they were great - sang on tune, played their instruments well, etc. Unlike The Kinks, whom he had seen a few weeks earlier and found horrible.

I like to think that I'm an open minded sort of guy....so...I've tried to balance my negative take on rap by connecting it (in my own mind) to the stream of consciousness San Francisco street poet school...Ferlenghetti etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bard from Minnesotta didn't get some of his inspiration from this group. Have to agree on the posturing and automaton aspects of the hand gestures. The repetition and lack of melody turns me off as does the numbing use of bass...especially in public places....car radios for instance :)
