The Who - My Generation (1967)
Exclusively for the Beat Club and German Television! The Who with Roger Daltry (v), Pete Townsend (g), John Entwistle (b) and Keith Moon (d) live at the Marquee Club in London on 11.03.1967.
As one of the most celebrated, covered and referenced songs in rock history, My Generation also presaged the heavy metal and punk rock movement. Pete Townsend wrote the song on his twentieth birthday while riding on a train and never thought that the song will become the hymn of the British mod subculture. In 2004 the Rolling Stone magazine named it the 11th greatest song in their "500 Songs Of All Time"-list.
