The Broughtons were from England.

Look into Bloodrock....southern rock, sorta spacey and with a slight prog inflection. Each of the first three albums have some moments....

"D.O.A." is their best-known song. Proto-deathrock to the max! I'm really surprised that I've never heard a band cover it before. It actually dented the top 40 (barely).

"Children's Heritage" makes me laugh everytime during those group singalongs. Pretty rousing, actually!

"Melvin Laid an Egg" and "Fantastic Piece of Architecture" are the headiest moments.

A live double LP isn't totally terrible, but everything from the 4th studio album and onward is just total rubbish and should be avoided.
