| abstract
| - %22My Generation%22 is a song by the English rock band The Who, which became a hit and one of their most recognisable songs. The song was named the 11th greatest song by Rolling Stone magazine on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and 13th on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Songs of Rock & Roll. It's also part of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and is inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for %22historical, artistic and significant%22 value. In 2009 it was named the 37th Greatest Hard Rock Song by VH1.The song has been said to have %22encapsulated the angst of being a teenager,%22 and has been characterized as a %22nod to the mod counterculture%22.The song was released as a single on 29 October 1965, reaching No. 2 in the UK, the Who's highest charting single in their home country and No. 74 in America. %22My Generation%22 also appeared on The Who's 1965 debut album, My Generation (The Who Sings My Generation in the United States), and in greatly extended form on their live album Live at Leeds (1970). The Who re-recorded the song for the Ready Steady Who! EP in 1966, but it was not included on the EP, and this version was released only in 1995 on the remastered version of the A Quick One album. The main difference between this version and the original is that instead of the hail of feedback which ends the original, the band play a chaotic rendition of Edward Elgar's %22Land of Hope and Glory.%22 In the album's liner notes the song is credited to both Townshend and Elgar.A music video featuring a montage of live performance clips has been played on music stations. In 2009, Pepsi released a music video for its advertising using scenes and cultural icons from the 20th century: 1900s turn of the 20th century bowler hats and hatpins, 1920s Prohibition flappers who drink Pepsi instead of alcohol, 1940s ticker tape parades for 1945's World War II returnees, 1950s souped up drag racing, leather jackets and James Dean-esqe hairstyles, 1960s hippies and their opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War, 1970s disco, 1980s break dancing and fall of the Berlin Wall and 1990s grunge, moshing and hip hop.
