For
What It's Worth referred to a comment
by song writer Stephen Stills when he
introduced this song for the first time.
Since the song was untitled at the time,
these words stuck. The Buffalo Springfield
only hit the top 20 once, but the group
received moderate airplay for many songs,
particularly in album rock formats. Crosby,
Stills, Nash & Young, and Poco
members were in this group. |

The
self-titled Yellow Balloon by The Yellow
Balloon was the only top 20 hit for the
group. The group received minor airplay
