‘My Generation’ — The Who
Rolling Stone ranks The Who’s “My Generation” as the 11th best song of all time. It is one of the band’s most popular songs. It was also named 13th on VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Rock & Roll Songs and 37th on the Greatest Hard Rock Songs. According to NME, “taking in a timeless sense of youthful disaffection via a countercultural, Mod lens, Pete Townshend’s age-defying ditty distilled what it feels like to be young, energized, and in the prime of life into 3:18 minutes of bristling hedonism.”

‘Light My Fire’ — The Doors
The Doors’ “Light My Fire” was ranked 16th on Ranker’s list. It was released in 1967 on the band’s self-titled album. For three weeks, the modified track topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It deserves credit for catapulting the band to new heights. As a result of the song, they were were invited to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show, albeit Jim Morrison was asked not to sing a specific passage. It was the line that said, “Girl, we couldn’t get any higher.” Despite this, he proceeded to sing it. This could be why they made their first and final appearance on the show.
