Classici Italiani

For What It's Worth (Stop, Hey What's That Sound) è un brano composto e inciso dai Buffalo Springfield, contenuto nell'album eponimo pubblicato nel 1966. Disco d'esordio per la rockband nata a Los Angeles, dà inizio ad un percorso musicale tanto intenso quanto breve: il gruppo infatti si sarebbe sciolto già nel 1968! La canzone fa parte della riedizione del 1967 ed è il brano d'apertura del alto A; scritta da Stephen Stills, racconta degli eventi del 12 novembre 1966 quando, a Los Angeles, ci furono degli scontri tra un gruppo di hippies e la polizia.
