They rival The Beatles when it comes to progression. They started as an R&B cover band, catering to their mod audience. From there, they produced angst-ridden singles like I Can't Explain and My Generation.
They might be best known for their rock opera Tommy, about a deaf dumb and blind boy who becomes a pinball champion and a spiritual leader.
Quadrophenia, another rock opera by The Who, is musically superior to Tommy but lesser known by the general public. It tells the story of a mod named Jimmy who struggles to find his identity and find happiness. I wouldn't be surprised if it strongly influenced American Idiot.
Between the two rock operas, they produced Who's Next, known for Baba O'Riley (aka "Teenage Wasteland), Behind Blue Eyes, and Won't Get Fooled Again.
During their early years, guitarist Pete Townshend and drummer Keith Moon would smash their equipment at the end of their gigs. Good way to get out of doing an encore!

I hope I die before I get old.
Right behind you, I see the millions. On you, I see the glory. From you, I get opinions. From you, I get the story.
Don't cry. Don't raise your eye. It's only teenage wasteland.
Can you see the real me?
Love, reign o'er me!

Get the the who mug.Same as Dr. Who
The Doctor is a Time Lord, an extraterrestrial from the planet Gallifrey, who travels in a time machine called the TARDIS.
Sometimes he is accompanied by companions who have chosen to travel with him for a variety of reasons.
Although he physically resembles a human, as a Time Lord his physiology is different. Once a Time Lord suffers a mortal injury, illness, or old age, he uses the ability to regenerate.

"What did you say your name was?"
"I told you; The Doctor."
"Yeah, but, Doctor who?"
"Just The Doctor."
