The Who

The Who are one of the most influential rock bands in music history, known for their explosive energy, pioneering sound, and cultural impact. Formed in London in 1964, the band originally consisted of Roger Daltrey (vocals), Pete Townshend (guitar, songwriting), John Entwistle (bass), and Keith Moon (drums). Blending hard rock, power pop, and conceptual artistry, The Who played a key role in shaping the sound of modern rock.

The band rose to prominence with early hits like My Generation, Substitute, and I Can’t Explain, which captured the voice of youthful rebellion in post-war Britain. Their ambitious 1969 rock opera Tommy broke new ground by merging storytelling with music, followed by landmark albums such as Who's Next and Quadrophenia, both of which are hailed as classics in the rock canon.

Known for their electrifying live performances—often featuring smashed guitars and thunderous rhythms—The Who set new standards for concert spectacle. They have sold over 100 million records worldwide and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

Today, The Who continue to perform globally with founding members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, carrying forward their legacy with the same power and passion that made them icons of rock.
