Buffalo Springfield
Comment:
Buffalo Springfield was at the forefront of [i]everything[/i] in '60s rock. With an explosive creative nexus of Neil Young, Stephen Stills, and Poco's Richie Furay, they accomplished more in their two years together than most bands manage in decades. Stills' "For What It's Worth" — covered by everyone from Rush to the Staple Singers, and sampled by Public Enemy — is probably the sharpest, most streetwise protest song ever written. Young penned "Mr. Soul" as an acidic commentary on rock stardom, but its stinging riffs inspired countless budding guitar heroes anyhow. And the innovations kept on coming, as Springfield explored it all before just about anybody, exploring country rock's possibilities [i]years[/i] before the Flying Burrito Bros. with "Go and Say Goodbye," and matching early-blooming psychedelic imagery with free-flowing folk-rock on "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing." We've collected the choicest moments of their brief-but-stunning journey right here.
