My Generation

The Who released their first album in 1965, right after their first singles started to chart. It was called My Generation, but in the United States it was released under a different title, The Who Sings My Generation, with a different cover. The band recorded everything in a London studio, and the sound was fresh, direct, with touches of R&B and a bit of mod pop.

About the album

My Generation, according to DoReSol

The song that gave the album its name, My Generation, became an anthem. It was the first to be released and reached second place in the UK charts. It also entered the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Another song, The Kids Are Alright, reached eighth place in Sweden. Both are songs that are still played today and have been covered countless times.

The US edition of the album changed the cover, and in the photo you can see the boys of The Who with a somewhat odd perspective. John Entwistle was wearing a jacket with the British flag. Some songs were removed from the American version, such as I’m a Man, due to its content. The rest of the album remains an introduction to the band's sound, with a touch of power pop and proto-punk that foreshadows what was to come.
