My Generation is the debut studio album by English rock band the Who, released on 3 December 1965 by Brunswick Records in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it was released on 25 April 1966 by Decca Records as The Who Sings My Generation, with a different cover and a slightly altered track listing.
While the execution was sometimes crude, and the songwriting not as sophisticated as it would shortly become, the Who never surpassed the pure energy level of this record.

The Who Sings My Generation is the album that displays their pop experiment more than later records (more so on the follow up A Quick One, however), among other styles including rhythm blues, and even a very early form of punk rock or 'proto punk', which is demonstrated on the title track. There are two songs alone though, that make this album the album worth getting; such gems as the anthem My Generation and The Kids Are Alright. The title track, placed right in the middle of the album, is one of the band's most well known songs, and rightfully so. The song is put together perfectly, instrumentally and lyrically. The lyrics are what got them known as a 'mod rock' band, which lyrics touch subjects such as rebellion.
07 - The Kids Are Alright. 08 - Please, Please, Please. 10 - The Ox. 11 - A Legal Matter.
LPs (vinyl) Sampled: "My Generation", "Who Sings My Generation", "The Kids Are Alright", "Big Hits Like Who". This is a well-recorded record. Unfortunately, all the versions of "The Who Sings My Generation" are in simulated stereo (one channel heavier on the bass, the other on the treble), whether they are marked "stereo" or "mono" and don't sound all that good. The (Holland) LP sounds similar to the UK, but with a little less frequency response (.
