- The Who developed from an earlier group, the Detours, and established themselves as part of the pop art and mod movements, featuring auto-destructive art by destroying guitars and drums on stage
- Their first single as the Who, "I Can't Explain", reached the UK top ten, followed by a string of singles including "My Generation", "Substitute" and "Happy Jack"

- The group's fourth album, 1969's rock opera Tommy, included the single "Pinball Wizard" and was a critical and commercial success
