“Three of the five members of Buffalo Springfield were Canadians.”
Yeah, but no one remembers Bruce Palmer or Dewey Martin. (I know who they were, because I liked the band.) Stephen Stills and Richie Furay were, of course, American; as was Jim Messina, who joined later. But the fact is, Buffalo Springfield was formed in Los Angeles, which does make it an American band.
