The Who
The Who
Along with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, one of “The Big 3” of British Invasion rock in the 1960s. Using the raw power of James Brown’s soul as a jumping point, they became inventors of the rock opera concept with the albums Tommy and Quadrophenia, and major innovators of punk aggression onstage! Maximum R&B!
The band consisted of versatile singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist and prolific composer Pete Townshend, reliable bassist John Entwistle, and wild drummer Keith Moon, whose fast and loud sounds influenced as many percussionists as Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham. The latter two have died, but Roger and Pete continue to play with The Who’s name.
