DESCRIPTION
2014 sees The Who, undoubtedly one of rock's legendary and defining bands, celebrate 50 years of maximum R&B and rock! To mark the occasion comes 'The Who Hits 50,' an album which will not only celebrate the fantastic contribution The Who have made to our musical heritage but also their remarkable contribution to youth culture old and new. This new greatest hits collection also features the brand new recording "Be Lucky."
The Who have sold over 100 million records since forming in 1964, they brought together four different personalities and in effect produced a musical hurricane. Each of them was a pioneer. Wildman drummer Keith Moon beat his kit with a chaotic elegance; stoic bassist John Entwistle held down the centre with the melodic virtuosity of a solo guitarist; raging intellectual Pete Townshend punctuated the epic universality of his songs with the windmill slamming of his fingers across his guitar strings; and Roger Daltrey roared above it all with an impossibly virile macho swagger. They exploded conventional rhythm and blues structures, challenged pop music conventions, and redefined what was possible on stage, in the recording studio, and on vinyl.
As they enter their 50th year the band is still going strong winning rave reviews for their performances of Quadrophenia in 2013.
