My Generation

The Who

A high-voltage collision of R&B and teenage frustration. Distorted, stuttering, and loud enough to signal the birth of punk ten years early.

Find on Amazon

The record that invented the 'live fast, die young' attitude with a stutter and a feedback loop.

A frantic, defiant explosion of youthful energy and sonic aggression.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The legendary stuttering vocal on the title track that sounds like a nervous breakdown in real time.
The sudden, violent explosion of feedback and drum rolls that closes out the instrumental track The Ox.
The melodic, jangling Rickenbacker chords on The Kids Are Alright that practically invented power pop.
