Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })My Generation is the debut studio album by The Who, released in 1965. The US version of the album was released in 1966 under the name The Who Sings My Generation.Although it was a success on the charts — even being included on Greatest Album lists regularly — the band themselves are dismissive of this album, considering it to be a rush job not representative of their music at the time. Stylistically, the LP falls between two stools; it originally was to have consisted of primarily R&B/soul covers but after a preliminary track listing was disclosed in BEAT INSTRUMENTAL magazine many of the tracks were scrapped for Townshend-penned numbers. Some of these discards ended up on 45 and CD releases (e.g. WHO'S MISSING; TWO'S MISSING); all are curated in one place on the 2016 5-CD box set. Nevertheless, the entire album was inducted into the National Recording Registry for its "historical, cultural, and aesthetical importance" in 2008.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Hits and fan favourites include the title track, "The Kids Are Alright," "La-La-La-Lies," and "Instant Party (Circles)." | |

Protest Song | |
| My Generation (Music) / int_16d8476f | comment |
Protest Song: "My Generation" was an anthem for the disgruntled youth of the 1960's, who felt angry about the older generation looking down upon them. | |

Eiffel Tower Effect: The American cover of this album plays upon the fact that The Who are British by having them pose next to the Big Ben, because Britain Is Only London as we all know. | |

Angrish: The stuttering in "My Generation" is meant partly to evoke this, and partly to invoke a pill popper who can't control his speech because he's high on amphetamines. | |

The Cover Changes the Meaning | |
| My Generation (Music) / int_3f1f6c04 | comment |
The Cover Changes the Meaning: "The Kids Are Alright" is a pop song about a man who has to leave his girlfriend because she'll be better off without him. Beginning in 2000, the live performances of the song worked in an extended freestyle section which varied from show to show, where Townshend and Daltrey described how their lives and their perspectives on life had changed between now and when they first sang the song. | |

| My Generation (Music) / int_51f90774 | comment |
Step Up to the Microphone: Pete Townshend sings lead vocals on "A Legal Matter", possibly because the song was too close to home for Roger Daltrey, who was divorcing his wife at the time. | |
