Being born in 1951 meant growing up in the 60's. While my tastes these days runs much more to trad forms of folk and instrumental music, I must confess to still loving some of these groups.

My favorite band ever, when I was young, was Buffalo Springfield. Sure I loved The Byrds and others, but I just flat don't think that anyone ever even came close to what Dewey Martin, Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, Neil Young and the rest did. I have a CD player in the car which carries 10 CD's at a time. Despite the majority of the CD's being names like Bok, Muir, Trickett, Fielding, Paton, Profitt (thaks karenk), Marum, Stewart, Bothy (LOL), Folk Legacy, etc (you get the drift), the first slot always has "Retrospective" by Buffalo Springfield. Songs like For What It's Worth, Kind Woman, Rock and Roll Woman, Broken Arrow and Learning To Fly are on it. Every so often I just turn it on, open the windows and sing like I was 17 again. I occurs to me that my interest in folk music was enhanced and encouraged by listening to these folks and wanting to know where their music came from. And to this day I still love the dual leads that Stills and Young did on those albums. Broke my heart when they split up, but that is what happens when you have too many truly talented folks in one group. All one has to do is look at the groups that were spawned by the folks in this band to know how truly great they were. And one does wonder which of these songs will stand the test of time.

Who are your favorites from this era.
