The Who
"The Greatest Rock n Roll Band In The World" so they claimed! A lot to live up to, but not many would argue that The Who well and truely lived up to their boast! For over 40 years they have made classic albums songs, but it is as a live band that they really shine. They have lived the rock star dream.
For twenty years beginning in the mid 60s they were at the cutting edge defining what rock music was and is, pushing the boundaries with new sounds and new concepts. Their roots lie in R & B but In the last 20 years or so they may not have sold as many cd's but they can still show younger bands what it takes on stage!
They had it all. Kieth Moon simply the best rock drummer there has ever been. It has been said that he was to drums what Jimi hendrix was to guitar. Pete Townsend a great but perhaps underated guitarist and a truely great songwriter. John Entwistle simply a fantastic and powerful bass player. And Roger Daltry bringing raw emotion and power on vocals and a huge presence on stage.
