Buffalo Springfield was a short-lived but influential band featuring superstars such as Neil Young and Stephen Stills. The band, which took its name from a steamroller, was active for two years and caused a sensation with politically charged songs such as “For What It’s Worth”.

Buffalo Springfield were brilliant songwriters and musical powerhouses who helped shape the folk and country rock of the 1970s. The band was formed in 1966 and first performed in 1968. Their self-titled debut album was led by the influential single “For What It’s Worth”, which entered the Top Ten of the Billboard charts in March 1967. The song was written by Stephen Stills after he witnessed a riot on the Sunset Strip, and it quickly spread across the United States.

The founding members of Buffalo Springfield — Stills, Richie Furay and Neil Young — became famous either as solo artists or with groups such as Poco and Manassas. But their legacy as Buffalo Springfield was secured by “For What It’s Worth”, which became an enduring anthem and eventually served as shorthand for all the political unrest of the 1960s. The song was so popular that it almost threatened to obscure just how much Buffalo Springfield’s original three albums had changed the sound of rock ’n’ roll in the late 1960s. Buffalo Springfield, essentially a folk-rock band, showed that they could also handle country rock, psychedelia, soul and hard rock, making full use of the possibilities offered by the recording studios of Los Angeles.
