The Who

Loud, theatrical and endlessly ambitious, The Who came out of London’s mod scene in 1964 and never really turned the volume down. Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon paired Townshend’s windmilling power chords and big ideas with one of the most explosive rhythm sections in rock. Along the way they helped invent the rock opera with Tommy and Quadrophenia, and Daltrey and Townshend still carry the name forward today.
