MY GENERATION by the Who. It was the first rock and roll song to quintessentially express youth angst and frustration and reject adult values and adult judgements. It was not a sock hop song. (Hope I die before I get old.) Get out your Ricks and start windmilling. Rock 'n roll is folk music and like any folk music, has its fair share of wingeing and self-indulgent crap. I don't care that Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore, I'm more interested in the shipwreck that precipitated his need to do so.
