Inspired by The Who

Few rock bands have inspired as many scenes and styles as The Who. Between their stripped-down early work and the epic art-rock of their later years, traces of their DNA can be found all over the place, from new wave and punk rock to Britpop and even heavy metal. Here you'll find arena-sized sounds from Queen and Cheap Trick, proggy bits from Rush and Boston and buttoned-up blasters from The Jam, whose mod stylings came straight out of the film Quadrophenia.
