I found ten Who references:

1. Obviously, the names Generations & Second Generations have Who relevance.  The first
    brings to mind "My Generation" & the second brings to mind "Slip Kid."  That could be
    one or two references, depending on how you look at it.
2. The "Pete-like" (no copyright infringment!) silhouette image on the Generations outside sign.
3. The "Open" sign that each storefront has is clearly in reference to "Let My Love Open The Door."
    (This was the most obvios Who reference & the one I spotted first.)
4. In one of the pictures of the inside of the Generations store, the TOMMY album can clearly be
    seen near the top of the wall where other albums are displayed.  And I may be mistaken but
    it also looks like the ODDS & SODS album is displayed up there as well.  One or two references
    depending upon if I'm right about ODDS & SODS.
5. There's a Who poster on the wall to the left of Mark at his register.  It's reddish at the top,
yellow
    in the middle, & blue at the bottom.  It's a reprint of an Empire Theater concert ad from 1968
    & shows The Who on their Magic Bus with chicks & of course Moon's pet elephant.
6. Also in the above-mentioned picture, the left part of a British flag Who poster can be seen.
7. In the picture of the blond girl in bluejean shorts shopping at Generations you can see the right
    lower corner of a large WHO ARE YOU album cover poster.  Wanna sell that one, Mark?
    (The Maigic Bus poster mentioned above can be seen in this shot as well.)
8. Also in the above-mentioned picture, one of the fooseball players looks like Daltrey.  McVicar
    era.
9. The website has a scrolling "More Music, More Music" thingy which hearkens back to THE
    WHO SELL OUT album.
10. In another picture of the inside of Generations, the one with the girl (Mark's daughter?)
towards
    the back, one can clearly see a large QUAD album cover poster.

Now, Mark, what's the poster to the upper right of the Bikini Kill poster?  The one that looks like
the back of a scooter or motorcycle?

And what do I win?  How 'bout ten free CD's?  ;-)
