The Who are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century and have sold over 100 million records worldwide. Their contributions to rock music include the development of the Marshall stack, large public address systems, the use of synthesisers, their influential playing styles, feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the development of the rock opera. They are cited as an influence by many hard rock, punk, power pop and mod bands. The Who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

My Generation [Mono]

The Who
My Generation [Mono] [Album]

3 December 1965

 

'My Generation' is the debut studio album by The Who. The album was later dismissed by the band as something of a rush job that did not accurately represent their stage performance of the time. While it didn't sell as well as later albums, peaking at No. 5 on the U.K. charts, critics have since retrospectively rated it as one of the best rock albums of all time, especially noting its hard sound unusual for the time, and presaging various hard rock styles such as punk and heavy metal.

'Ready Steady Who' is the first E.P. by The Who. It was released about a month prior to their next album A Quick One (1966). The title refers to a Ready Steady Go! TV special the band had recently appeared on, but the E.P. contains different recordings from those performed on the TV show.

'A Quick One' is the second studio album by The Who. Unlike other albums by The Who, where guitarist Pete Townshend was the primary or sole songwriter, the album features significant songwriting contributions from all band members, with lead vocalist Roger Daltrey contributing one song, bassist John Entwistle and drummer Keith Moon each contributing two.

Sell Out

Sell Out [Album]

15 December 1967

 

'Sell Out' is the third studio album by The Who. A concept album, it is structured as a collection of unrelated songs interspersed with fake commercials and public service announcements. The album purports to be a broadcast by pirate radio station Radio London. The reference to 'selling out' was an intended irony, as The Who had been making real commercials during that period of their career.

19 October 1973

 

'Quadrophenia' is the sixth studio album by The Who, released as a double album. It is the group's third rock opera, the previous two being the mini-opera song 'A Quick One, While He's Away' (1966) and the album 'Tommy' (1969). Set in London and Brighton in 1965, the story follows a young mod named Jimmy and his search for self-worth and importance. Quadrophenia is the only The Who album entirely composed by Pete Townshend.

'Who Are You' is the eighth studio album by The Who. Although the album received mixed reviews from critics, it was a commercial success, peaking at number 2 on the U.S. charts and number 6 on the U.K. charts. It was the band's final studio album to feature Keith Moon as their drummer. He died three weeks after it was released. The ironic nature of the text "Not to Be Taken Away" that was stencilled on Moon's chair on the album cover was noted by some critics.
