Hello Everyone......
Rockonomy is back again....This time its another legendary rock band...THE WHO...
the band was formed in 1964...actually the band was formed way earlier in 1962 end but at that time they were known as The Detours.....
The band members gathered together and formed a band and created a music which was liked by one and all......
They are among the earliest rock bands and the most influential ones......
in their music...you will see an awsome use of bass guitar and drums....atleast i think so....although the band created some numbers in 1962-63 but their official album was released in 1965..My Generation...sensational album..creating a lot of buzz in US...and right from the very first album...they topped the charts like hell......
No one could have thought that a band who played in pubs and clubs can go to world tours...yea....their music was liked and appreciated too such an extent that they went on world tours and their tours were one of most crowd pullers among the other rock bands......
The Detours played mainly blues...but almost all the albums by THE WHO were hardrock....
THE WHO have been called "The Godfathers of Punk"....and the influence of the band was such,thet during each show they used to destruct their instruments....
With the departure of Pete Townshend....The band dissociated in 1980s and reunioned later in late 80s.....after which they were awarded with the British Phonographic Industry's Lifetime Achievement Award...and thats not all....they have bagged Grammy awards for many of their numbers like...My Generation...and Who's next.....
While talking of their first album My Generation....one has to mention about the tracks like...Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere....I Can't Explain....I'm A Boy....Pinball Wizard...really good songs with tremendous drums and fascinating bass guitars and obviously vocals are beyond words.......After listening to the album one may be fooled that it is the starting of hardrock...and if so happens let me tell you its not foolishness...it is the start of hardrock.......
Talking about the band members and their influence....
Roger Daltrey - lead guitar, vocals,(later lead vocals)
Pete Townshend - guitar, vocals
John Entwistle - bass, vocals(1962-2002)
were the members who were there in THE WHO right from the begining....
where as members like:

John "Rabbit" Bundrick - keyboards
joined the band later.....well many came and went but THE WHO is still among the greatest rock bands ever.....
