Most know that the legendary English rock band the Who performed concerts at ear-splitting volume, smashed their instruments, and became one of the world's most influential groups. The period from 1964 to 1976 saw the creation of such classics as "My Generation," "Pinball Wizard," and "Won't Get Fooled Again," as well as the Tommy, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia albums.
