Underrated pop groups of the 60s: Buffalo Springfield

The Buffalo Springfield is one of those groups that's best known for what its members did after the band broke up.

Sure, this is the unit that gave us Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Jim Messina and Rickie Furay but its own music shouldn't be overlooked.



Outside of one big single--Stills' "For What it's Worth," a #7 hit in 1967--the group recorded two must-have albums, and a third less noteworthy release, before reported testiness between Stills and Young caused its split in 1968.

There's lots of good stuff on these LPs--early country rock, Beatles- and Byrds-influenced pop and listener's first exposure the songwriting talents of Stills and Young.
