When you're talking about the 60's, we sorta are. I'm not going to get into a culture war here, but I wouldn't look at the U.S. like you look at Euro countries because we don't operate in the same way. There is nothing that makes a person distinctly "american" and so despite our arrogance, its hard to lay claim to what makes up "better" than anyone else.
You should view U.S. culture as your culture to.

By 1967 America had well caught up to the Brit's if you look at music as a whole. James Brown was arguably the most dominant force out there at the time and as far as revolutionizing a sound few things compare to the godless monster of funk. He gave birth to less bands than the Beatles, or the Stones, but who's going to argue that there are better offspring than PFunk and Prince?
I'm not mindlessly pro-american. I use to think we were **** at one point but thats when I thought I knew everything. We have a great amount of value and I'm not sure what purpose is served by undermining that.
Woodstock was still **** btw.
