The Who Sings My Generation专辑介绍

The Who的第一张专辑,首发于1965年。英国版就叫My Generation,美国版使用The Who Sings My Generation这个名字,封面也和英国版不同,曲目有小的差别。这张专辑中的那首《My Generation》在1999年入选葛莱美摇滚名人堂,至今仍被认为是The Who整个音乐历程中的代表作,也被认为是摇滚乐历史上的一首重要作品。作为第一张专辑,The Who在其中的表现或者并未达到最佳状态,但他们的才华已经初露端倪,听众似乎永远不需要担心The Who的东西不好听。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第236位。
An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone. At the time of its release, it also had the most ferociously powerful guitars and drums yet captured on a rock record. Pete Townshend's exhilarating chord crunches and guitar distortions threaten to leap off the grooves on "My Generation" and "Out in the Street"; Keith Moon attacks the drums with a lightning, ruthless finesse throughout. Some "Maximum R&B" influence lingered in the two James Brown covers, but much of Townshend's original material fused Beatlesque hooks and power chords with anthemic mod lyrics, with "The Good's Gone," "Much Too Much," "La La La Lies," and especially "The Kids Are Alright" being highlights. "A Legal Matter" hinted at more ambitious lyrical concerns, and "The Ox" was instrumental mayhem that pushed the envelope of 1965 amplification with its guitar feedback and nonstop crashing drum rolls. 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.
