'''Buffalo Springfield''' was a Canadian-American [[Rock music|rock]] band formed in [[Los Angeles]] in 1966 by Canadians [[Neil Young]], [[Bruce Palmer]] and [[Dewey Martin (musician)|Dewey Martin]] and Americans [[Stephen Stills]] and [[Richie Furay]]. The group, widely known for the song "[[For What It's Worth]]",<ref name="AM" /> released three albums and several singles from 1966 to 1968. Their music combined elements of [[folk music]] and [[country music]] with influences from the [[British Invasion]] and [[psychedelic rock]]. Like contemporary band [[the Byrds]], they were key to the early development of [[folk rock]]. The band took their name from a [[steamroller]] parked outside their house.

Buffalo Springfield formed in Los Angeles in 1966 with Stills (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Martin (drums, vocals), Palmer (bass guitar), Furay (guitar, vocals) and Young (guitar, harmonica, piano, vocals).<ref>{{cite book|author=Tony Russell|title=Encyclopedia of Rock|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nZjoO9_YhfwC|year=1983|publisher=Crescent Books|isbn=978-0-517-40865-0|page=161}}</ref> The band signed to [[Atlantic Records]] in 1966 and released their debut single "[[Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing]]", which became a hit in Los Angeles.<ref name="RRHF">{{cite web|title=Buffalo Springfield|url=http://rockhall.com/inductees/buffalo-springfield/bio/|publisher=The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum|website=Rockhall.com|access-date=February 18, 2016|archive-date=August 29, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829121654/https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/buffalo-springfield/bio|url-status=live}}</ref> The following January, they released the [[protest song]] "For What It's Worth", which became their only US top 10 hit and a [[counterculture of the 1960s|counterculture]] anthem.<ref name="AM" /> Their second album, ''[[Buffalo Springfield Again]]'', marked their progression to psychedelia and [[hard rock]]<ref name="AM">{{AllMusic | class=artist|id=mn0000939567| tab=biography| label=Artist Biography| first=Richie| last=Unterberger| access-date=February 18, 2016}}</ref> and featured songs such as "[[Bluebird (Buffalo Springfield song)|Bluebird]]" and "[[Mr. Soul]]".
