During its brief and stormy lifetime, Buffalo Springfield broke ground for what became country rock. In March of 1967, Buffalo Springfield went Top Ten with "For What It's Worth," written after the Sunset Strip riots.

Stephen Stills also left and formed Crosby, Stills and Nash with David Crosby from the Byrds and Graham Nash from the Hollies....more
