A glowering cover photo, on-the-run sound quality, and music to match. That's My Generation, and while it's hardly as consistent as The Who Sell Out, it's just as much fun to play. With the band steamrolling the title anthem, "The Kids Are Alright," "A Legal Matter," and a couple of James Brown covers, you can bet it was for them, too. Rock & roll for the hottest day of summer. --Rickey Wright

Much too little.......2007-06-27

Sure, it has three classic singles that need to be heard time and time again by anyone who considers themselves a Who fan: "My Generation", that brash, loud, tough, angry anthem with the bass solo; "The Kids Are All Right", arguably Townshend's best pure pop song; and the piano-driven, funny "Legal Matter", Pete's first vocal with the group. Actually, I find the record's second half in general to be much stronger than the first, offering the humorous, light-hearted "It's Not True", the chaotic surf-blues instrumental "Ox", and the early confessional "Instant Party (Circles)". If only the other six were this good... but no. Two bad James Brown covers, the latter with the worst imitation of Mr. Dynamite I've ever heard ("I Don't Mind"; "Please, Please, Please"), a couple pained pop ballads ("La La La Lies"; "The Good's Gone"; "Much Too Much"). And while I like the distorted guitar solo on "Out on the Street", the rest of the song is thin. Half of this plus half of A Quick One would've made the record of the year. But this is a far cry from Sell Out, let alone Who's Next or Quadrophenia.

These Kids Were Alright (* * * 1/2).......2006-12-05

Forty-one years on, the debut record by The Who is still impressive. Classics like "My Generation" and "The Kids Are Alright" are certainly not to be second-guessed, and most of the other originals give the album plenty of muscle. "The Good's Gone" and the humorous "A Legal Matter" highlight Pete Townshend's superb riffing, and in the latter case, voice. "Much Too Much", "It's Not True", and the psychedelia-flavored "Instant Party (Circles)" are fine mod tunes. Finally, the instrumental romp "The Ox" is the clearest indication of the mayhem that The Who were to create on stage, if not ever again on record. The bits of feedback on this track surely perked up the ears of guys like Jimi Hendrix, as well as Lou Reed and John Cale, perhaps just enough to make them realize the potential it could have in their own work. This song - along with "My Generation" - serves to rightly place Townshend and Co. among the forefathers of punk.

However, "La La La Lies" and "The Kids Are Alright" indicate that The Who may have also been the originators of another genre for which they are rarely credited: power pop. All of this genre's elements are in place on these songs - azure vocal harmonies, echoey guitars, prominent bass lines, and marching drums. It was this formula that would be adopted by the likes of The Flamin' Groovies in the 1970s and Guided By Voices in the 90s, bands who were among the very best power poppers of their respective decades. Also included on My Generation are two James Brown covers. Now, I have quite frankly always found The Who's claims to be purveyors of "maximum R&B" to be disingenuous at the very least. These covers - "I Don't Mind" and "Please Please Please" - sound a bit forced, as if they were trying to prove their R&B credentials (not that I doubt their love of the genre, nor the fact that it inspired their sound). That said, there are some good R&B-inspired moments here, such as the opening track "Out in the Street".

At times, The Who Sings My Generation sounds a bit too rough around the edges for its own good. Granted, full-on Spector-esque production certainly wouldn't have served the band's energetic assault any more effectively. The Who's second album, A Quick One, would prove to be a bit of a holding pattern, but it's follow-up - The Who Sell Out - would be their triumphant great leap forward. Knowing how ambitious and refined their music would become, their debut sounds almost charming in its youthful recklessness. But whatever its shortcomings, their is no overlooking the fact that the single "My Generation" landed in the mid-60s London scene like a hand grenade, and proved that The Who wasn't just another rock band. Their influence would expand exponentially over the decades, and as an opening statement, The Who Sings My Generation remains a powerful one.

The Who - 'The Who Sings My Generation' (MCA).......2006-10-09

First hit the streets in 1965,as this was The Who's stunning debut record.I haven't heard this title in a LONG time,now.Great mod rock,British Invasion style.At the time(of course),this lp was reportedly the first of such to possess such energy.Remember on the old Smothers Brothers show,how the band was introduced as,"The Who..,THIS,folks is excitement"? It WAS.Still is.Tunes here I found most inspiring were the somewhat soulful "I Don't Mind",the melodic "La-La-La Lies",the historic(it's own right)"My Generation","The Kids Are Alright","It's Not True" and "The Ox"(never realized this track was on their very first album).Simply a must-have.

Raw Energy.......2006-07-14

A very different flavor of Brit rock. Whereas Lennon, McCartney, Ray Davies, and the Zombies had that air of refined English gentlemen, well-schooled and well-mannered (even when they were pretending to be bad-boy American rockers), Townshend and Entwhistle were clearly not as deft with their voices, although they played their instruments as well as the best of them, and their songwriting skills always seemed more juvenile than the rest. But that's what makes them unique, and their obvious disdain for that kind of McCartney-esque perfectionism in composition and arrangement and their obvious joy at playing loud, high-energy rock and roll reminds me of 70's punk. Just listen to this great first album and you'll feel the punk attitude coming through. Oh, and Keith Moon was the greatest rock drummer of the 60's. Maybe all those heavy-metal drummers of later years were just as fast and strong (and certainly had more elaborate drum sets and stage shows), Moon was a whole lot more fun.

The Generation May Have Aged, But The Music Hasn't. .......2006-06-28

The first official album by the Who shows them as simple hard Mod rockers who did more than just destroy their instruments on stage. Its hard to imagine that this predates the punk movement by well over a decade because most of the qualities of punk are here. Gritty loud three chord songs, simple melodies, and playing that was faster and harder than just about anything that had existed at that time. Sharing the spotlight with the punk qualities was the die hard Mod theme that would influence bands well into the 70s and 80s.

Mid 60s London was a swinging good place to be. While America had their hippie movement, hipsters from England were dressed up in outrageous neo-European clothing and were jamming at late-night clubs. Thats when the music came into frame. The British were obsessed with American R&B. So they started playing it themselves only with a rougher edge. Imagine if James Brown had gone punk and you get the idea. The Who were a working class group. Yeah, I know they later became rich and famous but their music, back then, was not about being rich and famous but was told from the level of the British teenagers who bought it, listened to it, and enjoyed it. Though The Who were not the first British band to try out an R&B sound (The Beatles and the Mersybeat movement predate them) they were the first to combine it with the British born hard rock genre of crunching guitars, feedback, crashing drums (Keith Moon is easily one of the best drummers of all time) and angry frustrated lyrics.

Rodger Daltery was, and still is, a major vocal influence. Though his voice would get better over time, never again would he sound this angry yet secure about his subject matter. Pete Townshend and John Entwistle were an amazing guitar and bass duel who could keep the pulsating and loud music from seeming to skimpy and watered down. Many rock fans regard them as the best lineup ever for a rock band.

The album is a collection of hard rockers of mostly R&B influence however some tracks like the anthemic title track, and the highly experimental, The Ox, with its almost atonal attack of white noise and disortion may have been seen as a prelude to the psychedelic movement that would shortly unfold. The songwriting may not have been as mature as it would shortly become but some songs like, The Kids Are Alright, and, A Legal Matter, were more serious in meaning than most R&B songs at that time.

Before The Who made the rock opera, Tommy, or the arena rock masterpiece, Who's Next, they were the band you hear as you play this album and wonder to yourself "would rock had survived this long had it not been for groups like this?".

Sounds great.......2007-03-22

The CD is in like new condition but the case had a small crack in it and adhesive on it. It still sounds great and who keeps those cheap plastic cases anyway.

Not much.......2006-02-17

There are plenty of good songs here, there's just NOT ENOUGH! Where are Behind Blue Eyes, Love Reign O'er Me, the Real Me, Call Me Lightning and Eminence Front (All available on the two-disc Ultimate Collection, which is much better) not to mention album tracks The Acid Queen, Go to the Mirror Boy, Song Is Over, Gettin' In Tune, Punk & the Godfather and Doctor Jimmy? Get the Ultimate Collection instead.

Good Collection.......2006-02-11

There's not much to say about another greatest hits album. It's a great collection of Who songs, but it's definitely lacking some of my more favorite. I give it 5 stars for being a good album to listen to, but would give it 4 stars for the lack of some other songs. This is a great start for new Who fans, but I would recommend a 2-Disc set instead.

Once Passable But Now Outdated Who Collection.......2005-08-13

In my opinion, The Who are the greatest rock and roll band ever. With some of the most talented musicians in rock history (John Enthwistle is the greatest bassist ever) and a barrage of classic rock anthems. However, their legacy is slow being eaten away by a barrage of greatest hits collections that feature the same songs being released over and over again. There have been about nine Who greatest hits/best-of's/definitive collections/ultimate/box sets released over the years.

In 1996, the compilation "My Generation: The Very Best Of The Who" was released. This comoilation contains 20 of the band's biggest hits in both Britain and America. Nine years later, does this collection still hold up? Here are the positives and the negatives.

Positives:
-This collection includes almost all the hits the casual Who fan would want. "My Generation", "I Can See For Miles", "Pinall Wizard", "Baba O'Reilly", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Who Are You", "You Better You Bet" and many other classics are on here.
-Underrated gems like "I'm A Boy", "Pictures Of Lily", "The Seeker" and "Let's See Action" are all included.
-It's affordable. That's good news for casual fans who only want one Who cd in this collection.

Negatives:
-Only one track from each from "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia"? These are easily The Who's best albums and yet we only get "Pinball Wizard" and "5:15". Those songs definitely deserve to be here, but where's "I'm Free", "Tommy Can You Hear Me", "We're Not Gonna Take It/See Me, Feel Me", "The Real Me" (Enthwistle's best bass work is on here), "Drowned" and especially the epic masterpiece "Love, Reign, O'Er Me"?
-Where's is "Behind Blue Eyes"? This track is very popular. Let me explain how popular this track is. It is the Who equivalent to leaving "Stairway To Heaven" of a Led Zeppelin best of. That is how popular that song is.
-For that matter, where's "The Kids Are Alright", "Pure And Easy", "Goin' Mobile", "Sister Disco" and "Eminence Front"?
-"Who Are You" is edited from 6:20 down to 4:51. Arrgh! I hate it when they do that.
-The sound isn't all that great.

If you're just beginning to get into The Who, then you should skip this and get the two cd "The Ultimate Collection", or if you really must have evryhting they did, then get the expensive box set "Thirty Years Of Maximum R & B". If you're on a budget, then I suggest the more recent single disc collection "Then & Now". That collection, while not as good as the other two, have "Real Good Looking Boy" and "Old Red Wine", the band's first studio recording in nearly 15 years. Whatever it is, this collection, while good, is not needed anymore.

Not the Best Introduction.......2005-07-05

Since anyone likely to pick up this CD will be looking for an introduction to the Who, I recommend against it. The Who put out at least 3 of the greatest albums of all time: Who's Next, Tommy and Live at Leeds. Start there instead.

Average customer rating: Good But Misses The Mark Thank god for this recording ... Like it a lot I can't explain the bad reviews this package is getting The Who's First Album Brilliantly Repackaged And Remastered.

The roaring, raging quartet heard on Who's Next, Live at Leeds, and Quadrophenia is scarcely discernable on much of this, their first album. But the Mod-fueled, American R&B-inspired sense of ambitious pop that powers A Quick One, Sell Out, and even Tommy isn't so hard to find here. This reissue not only expands the original with a bonus-disc treasure trove of 17 outtakes and rarities (including the Pete Townshend-penned, previously unissued "Instant Party Mixture"), but has been remixed from the original 1964-'66 session tapes by producer Shel Talmy and released in true stereo for the first time. Anchored by early Who/Townshend anthems "My Generation" (also included in an instrumental version), "I Can't Explain," and "The Kids Are Alright," disc one's original LP set veers somewhat schizophrenically from Townshend's nascent power-guitar thrashing on the anthems and Roger Daltrey's ill-advised James Brown and Bo Diddley impressions on "Please, Please, Please" and "I'm a Man," respectively, to the surf-inspired John Entwistle-Keith Moon instrumental showcase, "The Ox." Not surprisingly, it's the Townshend originals (like "It's Not True," "Legal Matter," and the proto-psychedelic "Circles") that point to what the band would become in a few short years. The bonus material on disc two leans equally heavily on covers, but also contains its share of signposts to the future Who, including a rare, alternate version of "Anyhow, Anyway, Anywhere." Also included is a new booklet with many rare photos and a history of the album's recording by Andy Neill (coauthor of Anyway Anyhow Anywhere: The Complete Chronicle of the Who 1958-1978). --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

It's kind of odd that the Who's first album would be the last to be reissued in deluxe fashion, but, given the prominent role the late John Entwistle plays on it (his instrumental 'The Ox' was and is a sonic marvel), it's kind of fitting, too. But the real reason it took so long for the Who camp to release this is that they added so much to it! Disc one presents the original album mixed in stereo for the first time by original producer Shel Talmy, plus single sides like 'Bald Headed Woman' and Daddy Rolling Stone.' Disc Two is a collector's dream, with more loads of first-time stereo-in fact, 28 out of the 30 tracks here are in stereo! Previously unreleased, full-length versions of 'The Good's Gone' and 'I Don't Mind,' an unreleased instrumental version of 'My Generation' and an unspeakably rare, French EP-only alternate version of 'Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere' the highlights. Three sets of liner notes analyze

Customer Reviews:

Good But Misses The Mark.......2007-06-23

Thank you to those who took the time to clearly explain the situation with the "missing" overdubs on this reissue. Given the fact that those overdubs were recorded directly to the mono mix, and therefore could not be part of this stereo remaster, I offer the following thoughts:
(1) As several others have said, the ENTIRE album should have been presented in BOTH stereo and mono. Screw the bonus cuts and extended takes -- it's the original album that's important here! They likely could have cleaned up the mono mix which in itself would have been valuable.
(2) As for the idea of re-recording those overdubbed parts to use in a new stereo mix: intriguing idea, but runs the danger of altering history I'm afraid. Yes, all of the Who members (aside from Moon obviously) were alive at the time of this remix, but Daltrey today does NOT sound like he did 40 years ago, and Townshend does not play the same either.
(3) As many have noted, if the french horn intro on "Circles" WAS available to use in the remix, omitting it was inexcusable.
(4) Bottom line: my advice is to stick with the original mono release. Yes, the sound is clearer here, but I am a purist and want to hear ALL the songs as Townshend and co. originally intended.

Thank god for this recording ..........2007-03-02

it stands up so well. Just great recording and good extras.

Like it a lot.......2007-02-25

I think the remix is great, some mistakes, but almost 40 years later, what can you do. It may not be the original mix, but if I want that, I can listen to the vinyl, or earlier cd release.

I think it is worth getting this set just for the "extra" unlreleased cuts - My Generation Instrumental, A/A/A (Alternate), Instant Party Mixture, Anytime You Want Me (A Cappella). The Ox (best example of Keith Moon's drumming) sounds great.

I can't explain the bad reviews this package is getting.......2007-01-29

This remastering package is a gem. I really like the way the songs jump out of the speakers like they were recorded yesterday, this is Keith at his absolute best and fastest. It's irrational that reviewers are knocking this whole package just because they "lost" 2 overbubs. The rare Instant Party mixture more than makes up for the lost parts.

The Who's First Album Brilliantly Repackaged And Remastered........2006-12-26

Right from the beginning, it was evident that The Who were destined to become one of the greatest bands music has ever seen. Their 1965 debut album immediately showed their promise and potential, filled with energetic, no holds barred, balls to the wall rock and roll. They combined the rawness of The Rolling Stones, the catchy pop hooks of the early Beatles singles, and the sardonic lyrical prowess of The Kinks' Ray Davies.

40 years, and now stunningly remastered, The Who's first album is better than ever. Classics like "My Generation" and "The Kids Are Alright" still sparkle like wine, while lesser gems like "Out In The Street" and "La-La-La Lies" also have aged quite respectably. There's three bonus tracks, inclduing their first single, "I Can't Explain", which now sounds better than ever. Previous versions sounded crackling and had a somewhat static sound to it. Here, it sound crystal clear.

The bonus disc is excellent, and the booklet is also really great. This is a great album that no music fan should be without.

The Who's first album.......2005-07-08

The Who Sings My Generation (1965.) Who's first album.

In the late sixties and the seventies, British rock quartet the Who really made a name for themselves by shelling out some of the greatest songs in classic rock history. It was in 1965 that Keith Moon, John Entwistle, Roger Daltry, and Pete Townsend released their first full-length album, entitled My Generation. Read on for my review of this album.

The Who featured on this album may be the same four guys that would take the band to unrealistic heights in the late sixties and the seventies, but the band as a whole is radically different. This isn't progressive classic rock or one of those rock operas they would become infamous for - it's just straight-up sixties-style classic rock. There are also a few old rhythm and blues covers. If you're expecting the band's debut album to be something along the lines of Tommy, Who's Next, and/or Quadrophenia, you're going to have to change your expectations drastically. To put it simply, this is a pretty basic album, and like many of the sixties rock bands, there is some pretty heavy Beatles and Rolling Stones influence - the Beatles influence is particularly noticable on the hit The Kids Are Alright. And, of course, there's the title track which has gone on to become one of the most famous songs of all time, in any genre. The non-hit rockers are also good, but they're nothing too revolutionary. I'm not too crazy about the rhythm and blues covers, though - some of them just sound weird! All in all, this is a pretty uneven album, but it's still a good one overall.

Like many classic rock albums, this one has been rereleased as a part of the Deluxe Edition series. In addition to adding the non-LP single hit I Can't Explain to the album, as well as some other non-LP bonus tracks, there are several alternative version tracks - longer versions, alternate takes, outtakes, instrumenal versions, and even acapella versions! There's even a whole second disc worth of bonus material! If you're a big Who fan, shell out the extra cash and get the deluxe version.

Overall, this is a good album, but it's not the band's finest work. If you're new to the band, start with one of their more popular and more well-received efforts - Who's Next (also available as a deluxe edition) would be a fine choice. Don't get this album unless you're a step up from a casual fan.

Great, but be warned...!.......2004-05-25

This remastered album is the same as the dlx version except all tracks are on 1 disc, which is handy. However, the disc has only 1 layer and it's sacd. So you can't play it in non-sacd players (car stereo, discman, etc.) Remastering job is great though. Deep, rich sound!

raw energy and a spectabular remastering job.......2003-04-15

If you like the Who and have a CD player capable of playing NON-HYBRID SACDs, then this one is a no-brainer. You get ALL of the material from the 2 CD special edition release, but it is in the higher fidelity of SACD and is all on one disc. I have not compared the standard Red Book release to this one. What I can tell you is that this release beats the pants off of any incarnation of this recording from the past. Hearing these tunes in REAL STEREO for the first time is a true revelation. No longer does the music feel constrained by the mono recording. It is more like the players are performing on a stage in front of you as opposed to mono's non-dimensionality. The recording is wonderfully clean and complete with crystal clear feedback. Moon's cymbals are transparent...his drumwork really stands out on this release. In fact, all the instruments are much better defined. Shel Talmy did a superb remastering job...he really cares about these recordings regardless of his professional problems with the Who. YOU HAVE TO PICK UP THIS ONE!!

Classic 'The Who'.......2007-01-05

This album features the original band. The best rock drummer of all time (the late Keith Moon) the most respected bass player in the UK and much of the world (the late John Entwistle) plus the writing talents and guitar playing of Pete Townsend and the great Roger Daltrey's powerful vocals! For my money this is the best "The Who' compilation album. It features all the best songs including the long version of 'Won't get fooled again'.

Customer Reviews:

Better listen than any of limp bizkit's albums.......2005-09-29

yea listening to a string quartet that resembles limp bizkit's music is way better than listening to decent music thrown down my fred durst's whiny retarded vocals.

wow !!!.......2004-10-26

Dang !!! This CD Got some SERIOUS Tude !!! Out of the 5 "String Quartet Tribute" CD's I own (Evanescence, 3 Doors Down, Beyonce, Linkin Park, AND THIS MASTERPIECE !!!), This is definently my favorite !!! enough said ...
GO GET THIS CD !!!

Puh-leez tell me this is a joke.......2004-09-20

I don't believe it. The world's second worst band (the absolute worst being good charlotte) gets a tribute album. That's THE gayesy idea ever!!! Since when did they deserve a tribute album?
I really have nothing else to say.

W...T...F???.......2004-06-28

You obviously are NOT a Limp Bizkit Fan if you don't have or LOVE this CD!!!! It F&*KIN RAWKS!!!! Losers, Idiots & Haters are the only people on the planet that would think for one second that this isn't a excellent CD!!! I bought it the first time, it got stolen out of my car and I'm buying it again because I will not live without it!!!!

W......T......F....!.......2004-06-22

this has got to be the most retarded idea ever concieved in the entire universe.but I'm sure they figure some doofus is bound to buy it,so more power to vitamin records.as this is the first review for this cd I'm telling you-get the string tributes to tool or slayer instead of this and the other stupid idea,the system of a down string trib!you'll thank yourself in the end(unless you are braindead).
