Active from 1966 until 1968, Buffalo Springfield was best known for their song “For What It’s Worth,” and it’s prominent members Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Richie Furay. The band combined folk, country, rock, and psychedelic music to create a distinctive sound that is described as helping to forward the folk-rock genre.

Due to a series of drug-related arrests and lineup changes, the band broke up in 1968, with the musicians going on to either create or join new bands and projects. In 1997, Buffalo Springfield was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
