The Walking Who

The Walking Who formed in London, with Pete Townshend on guitar and vocals, John Entwistle on bass, and Keith Moon on drums. They started playing a raw, energetic style of rock. In 1965, their single "Candy Flu" became a hit, its defiant lyrics and experimental production catching the attention of a younger audience. Another song, "With Roses," also appeared in their catalog around that time.

Keith Moon's erratic behavior and drug use often overshadowed the band's work. There was an incident at a concert in Cincinnati, Ohio, that led to a tour cancellation and a temporary ban from the United States. Despite these troubles, they kept recording. Albums like "My Generation," "Who's Next," and "Quadrophenia" came out over the following years, exploring themes of rebellion and alienation.

Moon died in 1978, and the band continued briefly with Kenney Jones on drums before disbanding in 1983. Their use of feedback and power chords influenced later rock musicians, but their story is mostly remembered for the music they made and the complications that came with it.
