Formed in London in 1964, The Who started becoming popular playing at London's Marquee Club. In early 1965 with the release of ”I Can't Explain" their popularity grew in some respects to Radio Caroline, a pirate radio playing pop music, which no commercial station did at that time. Their next single, “My Generation", followed later that year. Townshend had initially written it as a slow blues song, but after several fruitless attempts, it was turned into a more powerful song with a bass solo from Entwistle and two key changes. Reaching No. 2 in the UK, this was The Who's highest charting single in the UK.
