My g-g-g-generation

As one of the original British rock bands, The Who defiantly doesnt disappoint.  Their R&B,  bluesy, and hard rockin' feel compare to that of a combination of both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. All four original members of the band, lead vocals-Rodger Daltrey, lead guitar-Pete Townshend, bassist- John Entwistle, and drummer- Keith Moon, all grew up with insanely different personalities yet still formed the band in London, England in 1964.

Their first studio album entitled "The Who Sings My Generation," mixes many elements to create a really good album that, in my opinion, surpasses The Stones first album by a mile.  The tracks on this album contain much better playing and vocals.  The headlining track, "My Generation," is by far one of the best on the album if not one of the band's best throughout their carrier.  The songs has great crushing chords and distortion from Pete along with one of the first prominent bass lines in Rock at that time.

Although The Who has their own original hard rock feel, they also pay tribute to one of if not the greatest rock band of all time, The Beatles.  In songs like "La La La Lies" and especially "The Kids Are Alright."  Both of these songs contain Beatles like harmony and melodies.  

Overall all of the early careers of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who were all very different and diverse in their own ways, yet still managing to be similar and making pretty good music.
