Buffalo Springfield 's "For What It's Worth." This can be heard on a few of their live albums, such as "The Central Park Concert ".The name of the song may be derived from the main riff of the song being very similar in form to the
Jimi Hendrix song "Spanish Castle Magic" and also sharing elements of "The Wind Cries Mary".Track listing
