- Biography / Administrative HistoryFrom Mod-era "maximum R&B" to concept albums, rock operas, and definitive classic rock tracks, the Who have reigned as one of rock's most powerful, energetic, and literate rock bands. At their best, they've distilled the pent-up energy and chaos of rock and roll into its purest form while investing their songs with lyrical depth and visionary insight. In their prime, they were a unit whose individual personalities fused into a larger-than-life whole. Pete Townshend provided the slashing guitar work and wrote much of the material. Vocalist Roger Daltrey injected the songs with expressive muscularity and passion. Bassist John Entwistle anchored the band with his expert musicianship. Keith Moon, one of the greatest of all rock and roll drummers, embodied their explosive energy and anarchic wit. Entwistle and Moon combined to form one of the strongest and most unconventional rhythm sections in rock history.
