The group was blessed with three idiosyncratic, talented songwriters in Stills, Young, and Furay (the last of whom didn’t begin writing until the second LP) yet they also had strong and often conflicting egos, particularly Stills and Young. Again, their second album found the group expanding their folk-rock base into tough hard rock and psychedelic orchestration, resulting in their best record. Their debut, Buffalo Springfield, including their sole big hit (Stills’ “For What It’s Worth”), established them as the best folk-rock band in the land barring the Byrds, though Springfield was a bit more folk and country oriented. Buffalo Springfield wasn’t together long - they were an active outfit for just over two years, between 19 –but every one of their three albums was noteworthy.
