Like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield were influential in the melding of rock and folk that led to the country-rock sound of the '70s. Neil Young and Stephen Stills were the main singers/songwriters, constantly battling for creative control of the group. From this tempestuous union came melodic rock that ranged from Young's waltz-flavored "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing" and the Beatlesque "Burned" (featuring Young's piano playing) to Stills' muscular guitar style on "Leave," which foreshadowed his subsequent work with Crosby, Stills & Nash. Fame came by way of Stills' "For What It's Worth," a moody song about a cops-versus-kids conflict on Sunset Boulevard. Two turbulent years and two albums later, Buffalo Springfield broke up, but they'd already blazed the trail for their disciples to follow.

Goldmine - "...sounds better than ever, commendable mastering..."

Buffalo Springfield was one of the definitive 1960s folk-rock groups. Their surplus of strong writers and personalities (including Neil Young and Steve Stills) produced some inspired recordings, but there was no way to keep all that talent under one roof. After a brief, sparkling career and three albums, they splintered into Poco; Crosby, Stills, and Nash; and, of course, the mighty Neil's five-decade solo career. Despite the brevity of the group's life, their country/rock/folk hybrid laid the groundwork for much of what followed in the '70s.
