"For What It's Worth" #7 3/25/1967

Although this was the only hit single for Buffalo Springfield, the band's influence went much deeper. Their members included Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Richie Furay (later with Poco) and Jim Messina (later with Poco and Kenny Loggins). This was a protest song, but not against the Vietnam War - it was written by Stills about a disturbance regarding the closing of a nightclub on the Sunset Strip called Pandora's Box. This was included on the "Forrest Gump" soundtrack.
