All the early interviews with Pete Townshend proved it. He was smashing the equipment when they couldn't afford to replace things. The Who are indeed the world's first Punk band and Keith Moon is Neil Peart's real father. Break out the DNA kit!

[@ednicholson7839]

Ed's comment isn't wrong. He isn't saying white British musicians invented rock and roll but that British musicians are among the "inventors" as rock developed -- especially hard rock, the rock opera, prog rock, etc. Rock and roll's roots are both black and white. Chuck Berry has often talked about how country music, more than the blues, was such an integral influence on his style. You can hear it in his music. Of course the blues and R&B are the primary source but definitely not the only source.

[@laurentco]

John (Thunderfingers) Entwhistle's bass playing was really groundbreaking. Today, nobody thinks twice about it when they hear his solo playing in this song, but it was VERY unusual for the time. He is often cited as the inspiration for many bass players that followed. The song definitely has that 1965, yet it also hints at all the good things to come from the who.

[@LaughingStock_]

[@shannonroche1182]

Everyone wanted to play the bass after this song . Entwistle made the bass cooler than any other instrument.

[@peterblood50]

Here's the thing. This song WAS the anthem for my generation. Telling the older generation with it's wars, crew haircuts and intellectual fences to "F"off basically. (The stuttering was a smart-assed and disrespectful way to give the word to the 'greatest' generation that the "Times they are a changin' ") On the hair, long hair was not so much a fashion as a way to rebel and show your solidarity against the conformity of the WW2 generation. Check out the song "I almost cut my hair" by CSNY where long hair is tied to the rebellion against the norms of the day. ("Freaks" was the term we used for ourselves then much more often than "hippies".) The truth is this song speaks for every generation, it's no different with the young people today. If there IS a difference, it's that my generation was more actively involved with the movements of our time than those today who merely sit at home and type about them.

You've touched something there. Because we WERE coming out of a time in which "Children should be seen and not heard". Youth had found it's voice and that voice was rock and roll. There was a real defiance in this song. Battle lines were being drawn: "No, i will not sit down and shut up just because i'm younger than you".

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

The Who's bass guitarist, John Entwistle, was consistently named the 2nd best bass guitarist in the world (Paul McCartney being named #1,) for about 30 years in just about every poll conducted at the time. If they weren't the first, The Who were definitely one of the first bands to emphasize or feature the bass, and not hide it in the background, to be overshadowed by all of the other instruments. John was amazingly fast, incredibly inventive, and his talent can't be denied - he was nicknamed Thunder Fingers for a reason. This tune was on their debut album, and at the time, it was considered the hardest driving rock music recorded to date. And you're right - a lot of people consider it to be the initial blueprint for the power pop and punk movements that came after it. (I also agree that I like their later work better than their earlier stuff - just my opinion.) Great reaction, guys!

A little FYI - Roger's stuttering was actually emulating kids called "mods" in British slang from the 60s who were hopped up on amphetamines. That's where the stuttering comes from. Of course, when Townshend wrote the song he was trying to tell everyone to "f-f-f-f-off" but certainly needed to get it through on the radio.

[@robertheckman4303]

This is effectively their first single and they were still honing their musical direction.

[@otisdylan9532]

I wouldn't dismiss "I Can't Explain" or "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere", but yes, on "My Generation", they were still growing.

[@loosilu]

@@otisdylan9532 I Can See For Miles is astonishing.

[@otisdylan9532]

@@loosilu I agree.

[@spiccybaby]

@@otisdylan9532 "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" is a monster, that guitar... man, blows me away every time.

[@Zetetic328]

You guys should really take a look at "A Quick One While He's Away" The live version from Rock n Roll Circus is just a amazing record of what monsters this band was.

[@jeffcoat1959]

"Hope I die before I get old..." Keith Moon took that one a bit too literally. ☹

[@ChrisHyde537]

Jim Jeffcoat John Entwistle was the shocker. Keith was inevitable.

[@loosilu]

@@ChrisHyde537 He literally died the night before the tour started. And they were only doing the tour because he needed cash.

[@ChrisHyde537]

Lucie Melahn You’re right and it broke my heart.

"You Really Got Me" - The Kinks (1964) Also: Check out some live versions of "My Generation" (Live At Leeds, especially).

[@benavich8]

You have to remember, this was mid 60's, before you had the Marshall amps, etc. Some groundbreaking material for the time. The absolute most powerful live song is the My Generation medley off of Live at Leeds. Sonically to me, one of the most powerful live recordings ever. You think Moonie has gone off the chain for you so far, well, this will blow you away! The dynamics between him and Entwistle are staggering....thanks for playing this, I was 8 f-in years out when this c-c-c-c-came out - ha! ✌

[@LegalizeAdulthood]

Richard's 40 Years of Who includes several tracks from Live at Leeds: Substitute, Summertime Blues, Shakin' All Over, and Magic Bus. The version of My Generation is from the Fillmore East in 1968.

[@DrNothing23]

Marshall started making their amps in '62...

[@loosilu]

@@DrNothing23 The Who started stacking the amps. The engineers from Marshall were HORRIFIED, they met with Pete and said you cannot stack the amps, they might fall over. Pete reacted by walking over and kicking the shit out of the stack of amps. Marshall immediately started building stronger frames.

[@benavich8]

@@DrNothing23 I stand corrected, Jeff, you're right about the date and use of the Marshall amps. It seemed like Entwistle and Townshend were always adding and changing setups. When I saw them on the 1973 Quadrophenia tour in Detroit, Townshend had the Hi-Watt stacks and Entwistle was using the Sunn Coliseum's, but thanks for the clarification!!

[@BritIronRebel]

"I Can See For Miles" is The Who track to check out! Stuttering, Hair & Clothes: research Mods and Rockers of 60s Britain. The entire Quadrophenia LP is based on the story. The Who and Kinks were playing punk, garage style music before anyone ever thought of that genre.

[@davidwilkinson8431]

I think the sound of that era that you don't like is a consequence of the recording technology available.

[@loosilu]

I have thought about that, but I don't think it's what Alex doesn't like. He doesn't like the formulaic short songs.

[@myratatano5187]

Next Who selection needs to be The Real Me from Quadraphenia!

[@Rainyman63]

Funny: i heard this song on be radio yesterday, thinking: "I wonder if Andy & Alex would like that one"

[@mjeffn2]

Entwistle completely in bass beast mode on this one. I have long thought of this as the first punk song.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Too bad y’all didn’t watch this live to witness Pete Townsend bust-up his guitar and amp.

[@thomasthompson698]

Another band with an early punk kinda vibe...the Kinks. You might wanna check them out. Working man's Brit music. Check out their 1964 same era song "You Really Got Me" or "All Day and All of the Night"...which may be a tad too similar to be honest...and then see who was punkin' it first! "Lola" "Superman" "Destroyer" and "Low Budget" are other classics!

[@independenceltd.]

The stuttering was meant to simulate a guy strung out on amphetamines, a popular drug among the Mods, a subculture which the Who were a part of.

[@privatename123]

'S' for the all-time classic line, "Hope I die, before I get old." That's rock and roll right there.

[@shahmeer32100]

Keith moon was an amazing and extremely crazy drummer literally

[@CrayCruz]

Dudes, I second the motion on the Kinks: Sunny Afternoon, Lola, You Really Got Me, All Day and All of the Night definitely different Rock of the era!

[@phantomdust9162]

It’s funny because I love the early Beatles way more then the hippy era of the Beatles. Can you guys please check out the guess who no sugar tonight.

[@TheBlackQueen]

This was definitely an early Punk pioneering song. I would recommend you guys watch the live version from the Smothers Brothers show in 1967! One of the most iconic performances and musical events in history!!

[@tonybrien1107]

Guys, you need to check out "You really got me" by the kinks. The birth of the heavy rock riff.

[@SpuddySpud]

Yessssssssss!

[@H4CK61]

Thats my ringtone.

[@Billis75]

That song is cited by Ozzy as the song that made him get into being in a band.

[@loosilu]

Van Halen's cover of it was a huge hit

[@nicholasmckibbin1510]

Absolutely!!!

[@timmooney7528]

Their early stuff is a mixed bag of blues and R&B infused pop. They even recorded a cover of the song Heatwave by Martha and and the Vendellas

[@arakh992]

Next one should be "The Real Me" or "Bargain". Both songs are just incredible in all aspects from songwriting, over Daltreys voice to the best rhythm section (Moon/Entwistle). Thx for the nice Videos Boys:) keep rocking

[@MrThumbs63]

Arakh 99 knows what he is talking about. Listen to him!!!!

[@stevesmith9476]

Listen to the Live at Leeds version for the full effect of this song.

[@1nelsondj]

The Who came along 2 years after the Beatles and Stones, they were more radical. From 1965 to 1969 or '70 they were mainly a singles band. "The Who Sell Out" was a thematic album then came "Tommy" a 2-disc rock opera. Before that the singles: I Can't Explain, The Kids Are Alright, Happy Jack, I Can See for Miles, Pictures of Lily, The Seeker, Anyway Anyhow Anywhere and so on. You should react to their performance from the Stones' "Rock and Roll Circus" the mini-opera 'A Quick One (While He's Away)'.
