#59. My Generation | The Who (1965)


There are two songs on this album that I absolutely love: "My Generation" and "The Kids Are Alright." I've been a big fan of "My Generation" since my '60s phase in high school. I've heard "The Kids Are Alright" before, but I don't think I've ever really listened to it. Given the chance, this could easily become by favorite song by The Who.

This was The Who's debut album and it's interesting to hear how their sound began and how it would eventually evolve.

There's a great short from Animaniacs where Slappy Squirrel and her nephew Skippy travel back to Woodstock and see the Who on stage. Who? The band. No, not The Band, Who! Hilarity ensues.

01. Out In The Street

03. The Goods Gone

04. La La La Lies
05. Much Too Much
06. My Generation
07. The Kids Are Alright

11. A Legal Matter
12. Instant Party (Circles)
