17. My Generation — The Who (1965)
The Who was an integral part in the wave of British bands making their way across the pond to the United States. Of course, one cannot think about the band without ‘My Generation’ instantly popping up into the psyche. Pete Townshend crafted this song based upon his childhood. The angst-ridden lyrics of the youth — coupled with elements of blues and R&B — makes this a rather unique track for its time.
