In 1964, the English rock group The Who was founded in London. Lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon made formed their iconic lineup (1964–1978). The Marshall stack, large public address systems, the use of synthesisers, the influential playing styles of Entwistle and Moon, Townshend’s feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the creation of the rock opera are just a few of the contributions made by this band, which is regarded as one of the most important rock groups of the 20th century. Numerous hard rock, punk, power pop, and mod bands attribute their influence to them. In 1990, they were admitted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Who developed from a previous band, the Detours, and became a part of the pop art and mod movements by smashing drums and guitars on stage as a form of auto-destructive art. “Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere,” “My Generation,” “Substitute,” “I’m a Boy,” “Happy Jack” (all 1966), and “Pictures of Lily” (1967) were among the popular singles that followed their debut single as The Who, “I Can’t Explain” (1964), which peaked in the UK top ten. Their sole US top ten single, “I Can See for Miles,” was released in 1967 while they were performing at the Monterey Pop Festival. The track “Pinball Wizard” was part of the group’s 1969 concept album “Tommy”, which was both critically and commercially successful.
