Pete Townshend

Townshend, co-founded by The Who, became one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Shortly after World War II, he wrote in his memoir regarding growing up in London, “I wasn’t trying to play beautiful music. I confronted my audience with the terrible, visceral sound of what we all knew was our frail existence’s single absolute, one day an airplane would carry the bomb that would destroy us.”
