Who Song Gets Historic Inclusion In Library Of Congress

The Who's "My Generation" is one of 25 recordings that's been added to the Library Of Congress' National Recording Registry.

Etta James' "At Last," which was controversially sung by Beyonce at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball on the night of U.S. President Barack Obama's inauguration, was also added to the Registry.

"This year's selections lovingly reflect the diversity and humanity of our sound heritage where astonishing discoveries and a vibrant creative spirit seem to appear around every corner," James Billington, the librarian of Congress, said on Tuesday.

The National Recording Registry selects 25 recordings each year that it deems "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant." They must be a least 10 years old. There are 275 recordings currently in the registry.

The Who originally recorded "My Generation" for their 1965 album of the same name. Rolling Stone magazine named it the 11th greatest song ever written on their 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time list. It has also been inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame.
