CREDITS
The Who are an English rock band that formed in 1964. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide and holding a reputation for their live shows and studio work.
Pink Floyd began to use feedback, inspired by the Who, whom they considered a formative influence.
Shortly after arriving in London in 1966, Hendrix visited Marshall's music shop demanding an amp setup like Townshend's, and manipulated electronic noises in ways that Townshend had pioneered.
Paul McCartney said the Who "are the most exciting thing around" and was inspired to write "Helter Skelter" in the group's "heavy" style.
John Lennon borrowed the acoustic guitar style in "Pinball Wizard" for "Polythene Pam".
Punk Rock bands - MC5, The Stooges, the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and Green Day cite The Who as a major influence
The Who influenced hard rock bands such as Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Guns N Roses.
The Who have also influenced pop punk and Britpop bands Panic! at the Disco, Blur, and Oasis.
Who songs have been covered by many major artists, including Elton John's version of "Pinball Wizard" reaching No. 7 in the UK.
The Who's major contributions to rock music include the development of the Marshall stack, large PA systems, use of the synthesizer, Entwistle and Moon's lead playing styles, Townshend's feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the development of the rock opera. They are cited as an influence by hard rock, heavey metal, punk rock and mod bands. Their songs still receive regular exposure.
The band influenced fashion from their earliest days with their embrace of pop art.
The guitar-smashing incident at the Railway Hotel in 1964 is one of Rolling Stone magazine's "50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock 'n' Roll"
The Who have received many awards and accolades from the music industry for their recordings and their influence. They received a Lifetime Achievement, inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where their display describes them as “prime contenders, in the minds of many, for the title of World's Greatest Rock Band"
Seven of the group's albums appeared on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, more than any act except the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen.
