Though there is the strange case of Zappa/Mothers, who were probably the root of the whole thing on both sides of the ocean music-wise if not in terms of imagery and lyrics. My pet theory is that the MOI + orchestra Royal Albert Hall gig of 1968 was the shot that launched the prog revolution. But Zappa was "very European" for an American (both parents were immigrants I believe.)



I suspect that prog/psych were well on their way before Zappa's concert in 1968!! This is the list of gigs played during the 10 months of UFO's existence before Hoppy got jailed for drugs.
