good songs about growing up/exploring

Pearls&Stones

Well, you could do an entire set of Who songs on the subject....

* All of 'Quadrophenia,' plus...
* My Generation
* The Kids Are Alright
* Substitute
* I'm a Boy
* Happy Jack
* Pictures of Lily
* Squeeze Box

...and those are just the ones of the top of my head

some more include...

Most songs by Treble Charger, Jimmy Eat World, or Franz Ferdinand.

Also, someone mentioned Peter Gabriel's "Growing Up." --What a great song!
