Biography

As one of the key figures of the British Invasion and the mod movement of the mid-'60s, the Who were a dynamic and undeniably powerful sonic force. They often sounded like they were exploding conventional rock and R&B structures with Pete Townshend's furious guitar chords, John Entwistle's hyperactive basslines, and Keith Moon's vigorous, seemingly chaotic drumming. Unlike most rock bands, the Who based their rhythm on Townshend's guitar, letting Moon and Entwistle improvise wildly over his foundation. Townshend pushed the group toward new sonic territory on record and became regarded as one of the finest British songwriters of his era. ~ Bruce Eder & Stephen Thomas Erlewine
