Studio album debut by Brittish mod and garage rock band The Who originally released by Brunswick Records. The original album was issued in 12 and a 13 track issues, and the 2002 remaster, Disc 1 contains three bonus tracks, and Disc 2, simply labelled 'Additional Bonus Tracks', contains 14 bonus tracks.
The album is enlisted in "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".

I recall The Who from my pre-teen years, when listening to these songs on the radio. My Generation was one of those albums that kept luring in the dark, as something wild and uncontrallable - completely on its own terms, and I both really liked it but also felt a bit blown away by it. And it wasn't until the early 80s that I got to enjoy it fully.
