One of the major bands of the rock & roll era, the Who straddle the gap separating art-pop and hard-rock, creating kinetic, exploratory music that helped expand the genre's lexicon. Arriving during the second wave of the British Invasion, the Who came out of the R&B-besotted Mod scene and married that groove to the crunching power chords pioneered by the Kinks. After their debut single "I Can't Explain" cracked the U.K. Top Ten in 1965, the band quickly gained a reputation for their volcanic live performances, which could escalate into Pete Townshend violently shattering his guitar while Keith Moon destroyed his drum kit with glee. This volatility represented a new, dangerous streak within rock & roll and Townshend channeled this angst and upheaval into his original songs, starting with the epochal "My Generation," where Roger Daltrey sneered "I hope I die before I get old." Townshend's provocations extended into playing with the form and sound of the pop single during the mid-'60s, an artistic restlessness that led to the groundbreaking conceptual 1967 album The Who Sell Out. Despite their innovations, the Who didn't achieve superstar status until Townshend wrote Tommy, a rock opera released in 1969 that brought them a new level of acclaim and success. Who's Next cemented their status as hard rock pioneers, and after its 1971 release, they became one of the biggest bands of the decade. During this time, intraband tensions and excess ran high, culminating in Moon's accidental death in 1978. Townshend, Daltrey, and bassist John Entwistle carried on before launching a farewell tour in 1982. The split didn't last long. The group toured again a couple of decades later in 1989 -- it would be the first of many temporary reunions that eventually coalesced into a permanent arrangement in the late '90s. From that point on, the Who was a going concern, continuing even after Entwistle's death in 2002. New records may have been sporadic -- Endless Wire became their first record in 24 years in 2006, and another 13 years passed before they delivered Who in 2019 -- but Townshend and Daltrey continued to tour as the Who well into the 2020s.
