The Who
The Who are a British rock band that first came to prominence in the 1960s. The band grew in stature to become one of the most highly-regarded and popular artists of the 1970s and - after periods of retirement from 1983 to 1988 and from 1990 to 1995 - has continued to perform as a live act sporadically but with undiminished popularity. Pete Townshend's distinctive power chords, and constant themes of youthful rebellion and romantic confusion, were formative influences on punk rock and power pop. From the beginning the band drew attention because all three instrumentalists - guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon - would often play lead parts, sometimes simultaneously, or the guitar or bass might assume the role of percussion while the drums added spice rather than driving the beat. During performances, they would often chat with members of the audience between songs. The crowd-band interaction was high during performances of Tommy or Quadrophenia, when Townshend would feel the need to explain the plot of the operas to the crowd. During these explanations, Moon would usually comment in a sarcastic and humourous manner, much to the delight of the crowd. In the early days, The Who was most famous for smashing their instruments at the end of their concerts, and would often throw the damaged remains into the audience. One of the most famous times this happened was on The Smothers Brothers Show. The Who were nearing the end of "My Generation" when the American audience witnessed the truly destructive nature of the Who. Pete Townshend jammed his guitar into his speaker, causing it to appear to short circuit in a ball of fire and smoke. Keith Moon had rigged his drum set with triple the normal amount of explosives, and as Pete Townshend smashed his guitar into oblivion the drums exploded and Pete, supposedly (see below), sustained severe ear damage.

The Who and Classic Rock
The core albums, artists, and songs most often represented in classic rock radio represent a subset of the albums and artists that were actually popular during the so-called "classic rock era". The most enduring classic rock songs and artists have proven to appeal to new generations of listeners as well as older listeners who knew the music when it originally appeared.
British hard rock and progressive rock bands make up a central pillar of classic rock artists; significant among these are Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Cream, and Queen. Many different songs from these acts are likely to appear on the playlists of classic rock stations. Certain American rock artists are also classic rock mainstays, including The Doors, the Eagles, Jimi Hendrix, and CCR. Arena rock bands (such as Styx, Boston, Journey, and Supertramp) also often appear on classic rock stations. In many areas, Southern rock, notably that of Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special and The Allman Brothers Band, forms a significant subset of classic rock playlists as well.
