Intro

Formed in London in 1964, The Who emerged as a foundational force in rock music. The group, featuring Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, pioneered the rock opera and innovative performance techniques. Their diverse sound spans art, hard, and progressive rock. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the band remains a major influence, having evolved from the mod movement to achieve global recognition.
