The Who

From the adolescent rage of “My Generation” to the multi-textured rock operas Tommy and Quadraphenia, the Who (Pete Townshend: guitar, Roger Daltrey: vocals, John Entwistle: bass and Keith Moon: drums) blasted the rock scene with power chords, keyboards, strutting vocals, mini-operas and violent onstage destruction derbies. Having known each other since the late ’50s in and around London, the Who formed in 1964 and went to #2 in England with their second single (“My Generation”). “Happy Jack” made inroads for the Who in the U.S. and culminated with an appearance by the band at the Monterey Pop Festival.
