The Who - My Generation

The Who are an English rock band formed in 1964 by Roger Daltrey (vocals), Pete Townshend (guitar), John Entwistle (bass) and Keith Moon (drums). They became known for energetic live performances which often included instrument destruction.
The Who have sold about 100 million records, and have charted 27 top forty singles in the United Kingdom and United States, as well as 17 top ten albums, with 18 Gold, 12 Platinum and 5 Multi-Platinum album awards in the United States alone.
The group has been credited with originating the "rock opera"and it made one of the first notable concept albums. Following Tommy were David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis and Pink Floyd's The Wall in the 1970s.

They considered to be prime contenders, in the minds of many, for the title of World's Greatest Rock Band. Time magazine wrote in 1979 that "No other group has ever pushed rock so far, or asked so much from it."Rolling Stone magazine wrote: "Along with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, The Who complete the holy trinity of British rock." The Who are one of the most influential rock groups of the 1960s and '70s,influencing artists from Led Zeppelin to The Clash and U2.

Townshend and Daltrey, the only surviving members continue to perform as The Who, and in 2006 they released the studio album Endless Wire, which reached the top ten in the UK and US.

"My Generation" is one of their most recognizable songs. The song was named the 11th greatest song by Rolling Stone on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and 13th on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Songs of Rock & Roll.[2] It's also part of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and is inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "historical, artistic and significant" value.
The song, composed by Pete Townshend at the age of twenty in 1965, was written for rebellious British youths called Mods, and expressed their feeling that older people "just don't get it". The song was released as a single on 5 November 1965, reaching #2 in the UK, the Who's highest charting single in their home country and #74 in America.
