THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE

This week in 1965, the Who single “My Generation” peaked on the UK Singles Chart at #2 (December 1)
What would become The Who’s signature song, and was later included on the LP of the same name, was the band’s highest-charting single in their home country, along with 1966's "I'm a Boy".
It also went to #2 in Australia, #3 in Canada, #6 in Germany, #7 in the Netherlands and Ireland, and a disappointing #74 in the US.
Townshend reportedly wrote the song on a train ride from London to Southampton on May 19, 1965 - his 20th birthday.
It is said to have been inspired by the Queen Mother, who is alleged to have had Townshend's 1935 Packard hearse towed off a street in Belgravia because she was offended by the sight of it during her daily drive through the neighbourhood.
Townshend has also credited Mose Allison's "Young Man Blues" as the inspiration for the song, saying "Without Mose I wouldn't have written 'My Generation'."
Townshend told Rolling Stone in 1985 that "'My Generation' was very much about trying to find a place in society.
I was very, very lost.
The band was young then.
It was believed that its career would be incredibly brief."
Daltrey recalled to Uncut magazine October 2001: "I have got a stutter. I control it much better now but not in those days.
When we were in the studio doing 'My Generation', [Who manager] Kit Lambert came up to me and said 'STUTTER!'
I said 'What?' He said 'Stutter the words – it makes it sound like you're pilled'
And I said, 'Oh… like I am!'
And that's how it happened. It was always in there, it was always suggested with the 'f-f-fade' but the rest of it was improvised."
“My Generation” also features one of the first bass solos in rock history, courtesy of John Entwistle, and became one of the defining songs of the 60s rock era.
The song was named the 11th greatest song by Rolling Stone on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
It became 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 "historical, artistic and significant" value.
