My Generation

3.5 der er kun en virkelig banger, ikke?

Not as good as I had expected, but still very good. Unusually, I think I prefer their later work, as this sounds too much like everything else around at the time.

3 or 4 great songs with a lot of forgettable stuff including a blatant Kinks rip-off.

The great songs are remarkably good though.

Geen enkel los nummer onderscheidt zich echt. Maar deze band ontpopt zich hier wel as een alleskunner. Een hele variatie aan (gedateerde) muziekstijlen komt langs. En alles wordt sterk uitgevoerd. Soms swingt het en soms knalt het. Maar soms zeurt het als een oud Beatles nummer ('The Kids Are Allright is echt ver-schrik-ke-lijk). Goede plaat voor de muziekleek. Luister het als een introductie en vind jouw favoriete genre. 3,5 ster.

I liked a few of the songs. Like most of the stuff I've heard from The Who, their albums have some great songs and some easily skippable stuff.

Who's generation? Brexit baby boomers? 🤪
Still enjoy the hits, the rest didn't click with me as much.

The Who are a rock band (part of the British Invasion) from the UK. This is their debut album. These guys epidomized the rock and roll lifestyle (destroying instruments on stage at concerts, trashing hotel rooms, and Keith Moon's adoration of blowing up toilets)

They were also the predecessors of punk rock. In their search for more volume, Pete Townsend and John Entwistle were key players in the development of the Marshall Stack, which became a staple of rock acts later on. Keith Moon was a hell of a drummer! Pete's use of distortion and feedback revolutionized rock music as we know it today. The speed and intensity of their live shows was legendary.

Overall, a great record. Very influential to so many bands that came after them, and trendsetters of their genre.

Favourite songs: My Generation, The Kids are Alright, La-La-La-Lies, Much too Much, Please Please Please, I'm A Man

Least favourite song: The Good's Gone

4/5

Tykkään kyllä tästä aikaisesta The Whosta. Vähän tuntuu toistavan välillä aikansa brittirockin konventioita mutta jotain omaa siellä on myös. Sanotaan 3.5/5, pyöristyy ylöspäin.

There's some great tunes on here. A really nice, chilled record, but it also has some decent driving rock n roll.

Up there with The Kinks and The Stones. Must've felt like a bolt of lightning in its day. A call to arms to bring out the heavy artillery in rock n roll.

A few great songs on this, my generation and the kids are alright, the ox, the rest of the album isn’t anything special compared to other 60’s music. The who did go on to make greater music once they got their own sound.

Their later stuff is so much more inventive and exciting that it's tough to objectively listen to this album for me. It's fun though and showcases their strong songwriting fundamentals that would continue on their career.

Pues para ser la versión Mono suena bastante bien. Me gustaron "Out in the street", "La-La-La-Ladies" y por supuesto "My generation".

yea this is good. I wish it wasn't mono, its a little flat. My Generation is a killer single. Please, Please, Please, Please Me is a good cover. THAT GUITAR TONE ON THE OX!!!

Who?
