THE WHO-MY GENERATION

The Who - My Generation - My Beat Club
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. See more live Marquee Club stuff with Jimi Hendrix playing “Hey Joe” and "Purple Haze"!
