Talk:Buffalo Springfield

Clean-up and Verification

This article certainly needs to be cleaned up for style - it's essay-ish to the point that I wonder where it might be copied from - but as far as I can tell there is nothing here that isn't accurate, and I was a HUGE fan back in the day. For what it's worth. - PKM 18:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I seem to remember "Uno Mundo" and "Bluebird" getting significant Top 40 radio play in California. 69.129.36.131 20:53, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've just taken step one in cleaning this one up. I hope that there are a lot of people watching this page and that they'll give it a good going over. I have added a lot of stuff, all of which I can document, and I've also eliminated a few things that I either could not verify or felt was supurfluous. Feel free to add stuff back in if there is a verifiable source for it. Spventi 08:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Excellent job!Budrocket 20:27, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. BTW, to whomever it might concern <g>, I removed the "verify" tag aat the top of the page since the content of the article is now quite factual and colloborated by documented sources. About the only thing that I can't provide a reference for is the statement that the live version of Bluebird was a "a staple of FM radio in the late 60s and early 70s." By FM radio, I mean WBCN in Boston, of course, but that's another story for a different page. <g> Spventi 23:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Added the last line of the first para to provide context as to why one should care about Buffalo Springfield. 71.194.38.54 (talk) 01:09, 10 January 2010 (UTC)Larry Siegel

Folk Rock / Folk-Rock

To whom it may concern:

Both versions link to exactly the same page, because "folk rock" redirects to "folk-rock."

Thanks to your having an editing war instead of discussing the issue here, the exact same version of the page has been saved four times with only that one link changed. But, hey, if that's how you FOLKs get your ROCKs off, who am I to complain? <g> Spventi 03:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Buffalo Springfield was a rock band; it's a stretch to call them folk-rock. Unlike the Byrds they didn't re-interpret existing folk songs in a rock style; unlike, say, the Seekers they didn't try to write new folksongs. Folk music influenced every aspect of sixties culture, so tagging a band "folk-rock" because it incorporated influences from folk into its eclectic and artsy rock sound is meaningless, at least to me. 71.194.38.54 (talk) 04:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Larry Siegel

Re "The Company"

Thanks for the information about The Company, but please don't wikifiy it until it can be properly linked to an article about the group itself. It would be nice to have an article in place so that we can remove the list of names, which doesn't really belong in this article because it has nothing to do with the Buffalo Springfield.

For what it's worth (no pun intended!), I agree that the names of the band members of this group are superfluous to the article, and simply add unnecessary clutter. Cgingold 14:08, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
