I have heard the first true PUNK song !!

165.247.180.157

The Who- My Generation

I am spinning my SACD copy for the first time and I am amazed at how rip roaring tear down the walls great this sounds !!

I suspected it for a long time, and tonight my thought was confirmed. My Generation is the first punk song. You can hear the snarl, nihilism, venom AND ENERGY that must have sounded like something from Mars when it was released.

The Ramones ? Nah- The Who plaid loud and fast while they were wearing diapers.

The New York Dolls ? David Johansen thought eye shadow was something his mother wore at the time.

The MC5 ? They hadn't even discovered airplane glue when My Generation hit the airwaves.

The Sex Pistols- Heck they stole what they knew from the Ramones !!

No- it is The Who. You can hear the sonic fury at the end when they destroy their instruments. You can hear raw anger when Daltry screams "People Try to Put us Down------".

Excuse my exuberance but the SACD is so much better than previous issues that it does sound like a new record.

Best,

Ross
