Use this thread to discuss anything Who releated
Formed in 1964, and consisting of vocalist Roger Daltrey (b. 1944), guitarist Pete Townshend (b. 1945), bassist John Entwistle (b. 1944, d 2002) and drummer Keith Moon (b. 1946 2, 1978) the band became the faces of the fledgling mod movement - strange when you realise that each album release moved them further away from the R&B sound:
My Generation - R&B
A Quick One - Pop
The Who Sell Out - Psychedelia
Tommy - Hard rock
Who's Next - Progressive rock
Quadrophenia - Heavy metal
The Who By Numbers - Melancholia
Who Are You - Rock
They are as well known for their on (and off) stage antics as they are for their music: backstage fights, destroyed equipment, entries in the Guinness Book of Records as 'the world's loudest band', cars-in-swimming-pools, exploding toilets etc!
At time of writing, the surviving members of the band have just started their umpteenth 'farewell' tour, entitled 'Moving On'. For this, they are using a full symphony orchestra on stage with them
