Tom Petty
During their short tenure as a band, Buffalo Springfield brought together brilliant songwriters and musical powerhouses that set the tone for Seventies folk- and country-rock. Buffalo Springfield were the short-lived yet influential band that united such superstars as Neil Young and Stephen Stills. Aptly named for a steamroller, they charged through their two-year tenure with such enduring, politically-charged songs as “For What It’s Worth.”
Induction

Impact

They were beautiful harmonies, a psychedelic orchestra.
