March 28, 2024 Records of the Day

Rolling Stone lists “My Generation” by the Who at #11 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song is an anthem for the break from Peter Townsend’s stodgier elders and a claim on his own time and the “me” generation. The most famous line from the song is “I Hope I Die Before I get Too Old.” The single, released on Decca Records in 1965, is worth up to $30.00 but the “My Generation” album can get you $100.00 today.
