Like a night in a Texas Honkey-Tonk and that's not a bad thing.
Well, except it would mean you'd have to be in Texas. And surrounded by Honkey-Tonk people. But the music would be good.

The Who | The Who Sings My Generation (1966)
I found it interesting that the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die included this first release from The Who (The Who Sings My Generation, 1966) and the first release from the Rolling Stones ( The Rolling Stones, 1964) but not the Beatles debut (Please Please Me, 1963). I'd already listened to the Stones album, but needed to buy Please Please Me from iTunes to compare the opening salvos from these three British Invasion powerhouses.
The Who's debut doesn't forsake the past with nods to the Blues and early 1960s pop but adds an edge and a hint of the social upheaval to come later. This is particularly evident in the rebellious take-us-as-we-are attitude n the title track "My Generation" and the pop sounding melody, but angst ridden lyrics of "The Kids Are Alright". They take a "surfing sound" drum track and lay on a highly distorted electric guitar in "The Ox" instrumental -- a hint of experimentation to come by The Who.
The Rolling Stones debut is blues-driven with the debut of the over-the-top showmanship that Mick Jagger later masters.
The Beatles Please Please Me is fun, mop head bopping pop. I like it but in today's context, it doesn't seem ground breaking or interesting. Several other Beatles albums made the 1001 Albums list but not this one. I can now see why.
The Rolling Stones | The Rolling Stones (1964)
Blues-soaked rock with sparse rhythm and guitar work and many songs punctuated by a warbling harmonica. Listeners in 1964 must have thought they were listening to the latest from Memphis.
