Rather ironic that this was once a far-left protest song, and now it could be the anthem of the Tea Party. Good song, still apt, though for the opposite side of its writers.

Why is the lead vocal only in the left channel on For What it's Worth? Can a version with a better stereo or a mono mix be made available? Hendrix's Foxy Lady has this problem too.
SO GOOD! MUST BUY THIS LATER!
One of the greatest protest songs ever...
That's a fruity...... . . . . . . . c o o v e r .
Oh and worthless
Vulgar display of Howard, I am one of those hippies and I was just wondering how I could be less dirty?
Old soul dis morning

It is truly a great song that reflects the mood of the times.
I love this song

The 60's the movie is great just like the movie called the 70's

This is the stand still song. The listen song. I like this song.
damn it what drugs were good the cops didn't know what they were
This song brought me to think about life, how we've all got to get along and cherish life as it beautifully is, set out a great world to live in peace and live together.
I love this song. I've even made my micro bio on Huffington Post.
I lived in those wonderful times....let me go back just once more,the music was what got you through the school day.....the weekends.... . o m g !
Words of a time of people more than paying attention. They were willing to take action.... too many drones of our day don't even know what lyrics are even saying. Music is becoming a forefront once again with a new generation after sleepers for too long..... the words are real.Just listen & know what you want to happen in OUR world!

Kent State... remember!
One of my favorite songs.
Reminds me from that scene in Vietnam from Forrest Gump.
Awesome song so catchy

Mad respect.
This song is more than something to listen to, it's a way of life even now. When all you retards think life is peachy you need to look a little deeper and see your getting pushed to be nothing more than 3rd world citizens. I hope you all wake up and fight back. Stop being content and realize what the 1% is doing to your people even if you have a good job and fight back!
Welcome to vietnam 1970
Love the one you are with
I love this song
I first heard it in the 1999 movie called "The 60's"

MLDave, half is being way too generous. :V
This should be the Pawn Stars theme song, but people tend to get about half of what its worth.
Love this song
Neil young baby!!!!!

Funny!- Learned about this on the Muppets!-lov e d it ever since!!!!!
For some it's having your M-16 in one hand and flipping the peace sign to a passing G-I going to where you just came from
back in the day
back in the day

This song reminds me of my dad.
This song reminds me of junior year of high school. We learned about the 60's and did a concert sort of thing for my history class outside. Me and my friend lip synced to this.
classic
