the who

Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey performed with their former drummer to benefit a prostate cancer charity.

We match up the drummers of the Who and Led Zeppelin in this week's Clash of the Titans.

The founding four members of The Who, are the quintessential "everyone brings something different to the table to make the sum a whole!' Keith Moon was a hyperactive soul that seemed to love alcohol and drugs. Daltrey exuded confidence as the bands front-man, Pete Townshend always pushing forward and finally, John Entwistle a musical virtuoso.

Back in October, Roger Daltrey, in a Rolling Stone interview talked about The Who launching a 50th anniversary tour in 2015. Pete Townshend speaking with Billboard has hinted the tour could begin sooner. Perhaps Christmastime in the United Kingdom and North America in early 2015.

Less than half a year after hinting at their imminent retirement from the road, the Who are getting back together sometime this year to record a new album.

We've all been disappointed by a late-period record by one of our favorite bands, and to one extent or another, we've all engaged in an endless debate over whether it's better to burn out or fade away. For Buzz Osborne of the Melvins, the answer is neither; creativity takes effort, and he expects great artists to keep trying.

Following an incendiary performance at The Forum in Montreal on Dec. 2, 1973, the Who attended an after-show party put on by executives from RCA. Would you be surprised if we told you that legal trouble and property damage ensued?

As it turned out, Pete Townshend was just getting warmed up with 'Tommy.'

The Who have announced that they will quit touring -- this time for good -- after they play a series of 50th-anniversary shows in 2015.

Legendary Who drummer Keith Moon passed away more than 35 years ago, but he's still never far from Roger Daltrey's thoughts.

Listen up, Who fans -- it isn't every day you have the chance to buy a car once owned by the Ox.

The final album by the Who's original lineup was a product of its time. Released three years after its predecessor, 'The Who by Numbers' (which indeed sounded like the band on autopilot at times), 1978's 'Who Are You' had a lot to contend with, like punk rock, electronics insurgence and perhaps most importantly, a songwriter who seemed to be growing out of his band.
