“My Generation”:
On this day in 1965, The Who’s LP “My Generation” was released (December 3)
The album was made immediately after the Who got their first singles on the charts and according to the booklet in the Deluxe Edition, it was later dismissed by the band as something of a rush job that did not accurately represent their stage performance of the time.
While it didn't sell as well as later albums, peaking at #5 on the UK charts and failing to chart in the US, critics have since retrospectively rated it as one of the best rock albums of all time, especially noting its hard sound unusual for the time, and presaging various hard rock styles such as punk and heavy metal.
The album is also considered an important forerunner of the "power pop" movement.
In 2012, “My Generation” was ranked #237 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and was named the second greatest guitar album of all time by Mojo magazine.
In 2006, it was ranked #49 in NME's list of the 100 Greatest British Albums.
In 2004, the title track was #11 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

Here lies the Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan, Egypt, a silent giant from the 18th Dynasty, around 1500 BC. Carved directly from the bedrock, it bears witness to the ambitious scale of ancient Egyptian monument construction.
The sheer magnitude of this pink granite monolith arrests the eye, revealing the scars of attempted extraction, and the geological story etched into its very form. The cracks that thwarted its completion whisper of the immense pressures both human and natural. Its unfinished state offers us unique insight into the quarrying techniques of the era.
Trapped between potential and reality, it embodies the fleeting nature of human endeavors, a reminder that even the grandest visions can be humbled by circumstance. This silent stone, an eternal dialogue between ambition and the unyielding earth, holds a profound beauty, a paradoxical testament to both creation and imperfection.

Bob Geldof had no idea a rumored-to-split band’s 20-minute set would steal the show and become one of the greatest live performances in rock history.
Live Aid organizer Bob Geldof almost vetoed Queen, believing the rumored-to-split band was past their prime. But when Freddie Mercury hit the Wembley stage, the band delivered a meticulously rehearsed, 21-minute set that redefined rock performance.
The moment Mercury conducted 72,000 people to clap in unison during "Radio Ga Ga" saved the band's career and was later voted the Greatest Live Rock Gig of All Time.
