Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s 1970 album Deja Vu is one of my favorite albums of all-time, and its genesis can be found with Buffalo Springfield and their 1966 debut self-titled album. The band featured Neil Young and Stephen Stills who would go on to have legendary careers both as part of supergroups and solo artists, and their timeless track “For What It’s Worth” that has gone down in music history as one of the most prominent anti-war songs ever recorded. The rest of the album isn’t nearly as iconic and can get a little bit too jangly for my tastes, but the lasting power of “For What It’s Worth” and the budding seeds of Neil Young and Stephen Stills’ songwriting capabilities make it a worthwhile listen.
