The greatest band of all time

The Who are a British rock band of 1960s and 1970s fame, though surviving members have continued to create music and tour together. They were one of the bands performing at the legendary Woodstock Festival in 1969. They are considered by many to be one of the most influential rock bands of their time. Noted for their dynamic live performances and for their thoughtful and art-influenced music, they are also acknowledged as having been rock pioneers, popularizing among other things the power chord and the rock opera (particularly Tommy and Quadrophenia). The 'classic' lineup of the band was Pete Townshend (lead guitar/vocals), Roger Daltrey (lead vocals), John Entwistle (bass/vocals) and Keith Moon (drums).

Their earlier "mod" albums, which boasted short, aggressive pop songs, Pete Townshend's distinctive power chords, and constant themes of youthful rebellion and romantic confusion, were formative influences on punk rock and power pop. In their early days they were notorious for destroying their instruments at the end of shows (based on Townshend's reading of Gustav Metzger's notion of 'Auto-Destructive Art'). (read more)

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

My Generation Lyrics
