Revenge - Our Generation


Without doubt, hands-down, stand-on-me, "Our Generation" is one of the best singles ever made by anyone anywhere any-ever. If the boffins could only bottle this it'd solve our looming energy crisis in one fell-swoop. Quite how three suburbanites could possibly have summoned up all the forces of gravity/anti-gravity, dark-energy and dark-matter - plus a soupcon of The Kinks, of course - in less than two minutes of by-numbers punk rock is a mystery. A supernova this explosive would be the stuff of myth... if it wasn't, somehow, miraculously, true.
