This article explores the 1960s early Yugorock music scene in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with a particular focus on the band Indexi (Indices), which was formed in Sarajevo in 1962. As an early Beatles-inspired group, Indexi created some of the most popular Yugoslav progressive rock songs of all time. Two songs that Indexi produced in 1969, shortly after the release of the Beatles’ White Album, show direct parallels between the songs that appear on The White Album and the type of inspiration Indexi consistently drew from the Beatles, particularly in the first part of the band’s career
