20 Songs Which Surprisingly Never Made It To No.1 In The UK Charts
17. My Generation - The Who
Actual Chart Peak: No.2
Home to one of the best lines in music - “Hope I die before I get old” - and an electrifyingly angsty vocal performance by Roger Daltrey, My Generation is still hailed as one of the greatest songs in the genre of rock and roll. It is a great symbol of teenage rebellion and continues to have significance in today’s music industry because of its historical and artistic influence.
The Who never actually had a number one hit with any of their songs in the UK and it’s a shame they never accomplished this, especially with a hit like My Generation.
