The Who were one of the most memorable and influential of the 1960s
British Invasion bands-memorable because of their loudness and
because they destroyed instruments during performances, and
influential because of their success in crafting "Power Pop"
singles like "My Generation" and "I Can See for Miles,"
long-playing albums Live at Leeds and Who's Next, and the "rock
operas" Tommy and Quadrophenia. The themes that principal
songwriter Pete Townshend imparted into The Who's music drew upon
the group's mostly working-class London upbringings and early Mod
audiences: frustration, angst, irony, and a youthful inclination to
lash out. Like some of his rock and roll contemporaries, Townshend
was also affected by religious ideas coming from India and the
existential dread he felt about the possibility of nuclear war.
During a career that spanned three decades, The Who gave their fans
and rock critics a lot to think about. The remarkable depth and
breadth of The Who's music and their story as one of the most
exciting and provocative rock bands over the last half-century are
the subjects of the philosophical explorations in this collection.
