The Who is 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. 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, Townsend’s feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the development of the rock opera. They are cited as an influencer by hard rock, heavy metal, punk rock, and mod bands. John Lennon, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Green Day, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Panic! At the Disco, and Elton John all cite The Who as a major influence. Paul McCartney said The Who “are the most exciting thing around” and was inspired to write “Helter Skelter” in the group’s “heavy” style.
