Introduction to The Who

The Who are an English rock band formed in London in 1964, widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in rock history. Core members include Roger Daltrey (lead vocals), Pete Townshend (guitar, vocals), John Entwistle (bass, vocals), and Keith Moon (drums), with later lineup changes including Kenney Jones and John "Rabbit" Bundrick. They pioneered rock opera, power chords, and large-scale live destruction, notably smashing guitars and destroying equipment. Albums such as Tommy and Quadrophenia defined generational anthems, while hits like "Baba O'Riley" and "My Generation" remain staples. This overview clarifies their lineup, discography, milestones, and enduring cultural footprint.
