When America stormed the charts in 1972 with "A Horse with No Name," many folk-rock fans thought Neil Young had just released a new song. Instead, it was the beginning of a string of Top 40 hits that stretched into the early 1980s - including another No. 1 smash, "Sister Golden Hair." Of the band's original trio, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell remain. Dan Peek quit in 1977 (and died in 2011 at the age of 60).
